Wheresoe�er I roam thro� valleys dreary,
Over mountains, or in pathless wood,
Ever with me is a Friend to cheer me,
Warning, comforting as none else could.
�Tis the Shepherd, Who once dying, bleeding,
Still through all eternity shall live;
Following His flock, protecting, feeding,
He the tend�rest care doth give;
Following His flock, protecting, feeding,
He the tend�rest care doth give.

All my needs eternally supplying,
All in all to me that Friend shall be;
Ev�rything for which my heart is sighing,
He perceives, and helps me lovingly.
Tho� I often feel forsaken, lonely,
He is ever near, for He did say:
�I am with you alway,� and this only
Gives me courage on my way;
�I am with you alway,� and this only
Gives me courage on my way.

Pierc�d Heart, with love o�erflowing, guide me,
Help me through life�s desert find my way,
Let my faith, no matter what betide me,
Find assurance in Thy wounds for aye.
To Thy bosom�for this life is fleeting�
Take me, wash my garments in Thy blood,
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, �My Lord and God!�
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, �My Lord and God!�
