John 10

 
 1 

Jesus, our wonderful Shepherd

Brought us right out of the fold

Into His pasture so plenteous,

Into His riches untold.

 

Glorious church life,

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we're dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.

 
 2 

In the divisions He sought us,

Weary and famished for food;

Into the good land He brought us,

Oh, to our spirit how good!

 

Glorious church life,

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we're dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.

 
 3 

Jesus Himself is our pasture,

He is the food that we eat;

We as His sheep are fed richly

Each time, whenever we meet.

 

Glorious church life,

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we're dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.

 
 4 

Dwell we here on a high mountain,

Wet with the morning-fresh dew,

Slaking our thirst at the fountain,

Water so living and new.

 

Glorious church life,

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we're dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.

 
 5 

Christ is our rest and enjoyment,

Here we have nothing to fear;

Here all the sheep dwell securely,

Kept by His presence so dear.

 

Glorious church life,

Feasting from such a rich store!

Here where we're dwelling in oneness

God commands life evermore.
