Christ, the Shepherd of my life,
I rest me in thy fold.
Faithful art thou, Lord, and True-
Thy counsels are of old.
My spirit longs to hear thy name,
My soul to see thy face.
Bless me, Lord, and keep me always
Covered in thy grace.
I will exalt thee, thou art God,
Thy praise, my lips shall form;
For thou hast been a strength, O Lord,
A refuge from the storm.
Thou that makest dry the sea
Because it is thy will,
Wipe the tears from off mine eyes,
Assure me, "Peace be still."
When all about shall seem to be
A whirl wind on the sea,
My mind shall stay in perfect peace
Because I trust in thee.
