Shepherd of my soul

O Thou whose presence delighteth my soul

And whom in my distress I call

My comfort by day and my refuge by night

My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell

Where thou keepest thy sheep to rest

For why should I roam in the valley of tears

And wander as one who is lost.

I ask thee to tell me, daughters of Zion,

Have ye seen the One I adore

I seek him in vain in the night of my soul

But lo I can find Him no more.

Shepherd of my soul I shall follow Thee

O how sweet Thy voice is to me

So guide me and lead me and show me the way

My only desire is Thee.

I am my beloved's and He is mine

He calleth me sister and spouse

O how do I long for the day we shall wed

In heaven in His Father's house.
