Hymn
To Thy Pastures Fair and Large
- Writer
- James Merrick
To thy pastures fair and large,
Heavenly Shepherd, lead thy charge,
And my couch, with tenderest care,
'Mid the springing grass prepare.
When I faint with summer's heat,
Thou shalt guide my weary feet
To the streams that, still and slow,
Through the verdant meadows flow.
Safe the dreary vale I tread,
By the shades of death o'erspread,
With thy rod and staff supplied,
This my guard--and that my guide.
Constant to my latest end,
Thou my footsteps shalt attend;
And shalt bid thy hallowed dome
Yield me an eternal home.
