2 Secure them from the scorching beam,

And lead them to the living stream;

In verdant pastures let them lie,

And watch them with a shepherd’s eye!

3 O, teach them to discern thy voice,

And in its sacred sound rejoice!

From strangers may they ever flee,

And know no other guide but thee.

4 Lord, bring thy sheep that wander yet,

And let their number be complete;
