Lyrics
Shepherd (Show Me How to Go)
Lyrics by Mary Baker Eddy
Music by Deborah Ann Offenhauser
Shepherd, show me how to go
O’er the hillside steep,
How to follow, how to sow,
How to feed Thy sheep;
I will listen for Thy voice,
Lest my footsteps stray
I will follow and rejoice
All the rugged way.
Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
Break earth’s stupid rest.
So, when day grows dark and cold,
Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
Take them in Thy arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
Till the morning’s beam;
White as wool, ere they depart,
Shepherd, wash them clean.
