I
TROUBLES AND TRIALS OFTEN BETRAY US,
CAUSE THIS OLD WEARY BODY TO STRAY.
BUT WE SHALL WALK BESIDE THE STILL WATERS,
WITH THE GOOD SHEPHERD LEADING THE WAY.
II
THOSE WHO HAVE STAYED WERE SOUGHT BY THE MASTER,
HE WHO ONCE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.
OUT ON THE MOUNTAIN STILL HE IS SEARCHING,
BRINGING THEM IN FOREVER TO KEEP.
III
WE WILL NOT HEED THE VOICE OF A STRANGER,
FOR HE WILL LEAD US ON TO DESPAIR.
FOLLOWING ON WITH JESUS OUT SAVIOR,
WE SHALL ALL REACH THAT COUNTRY SO FAIR.
CHORUS
GOING UP HOME TO LIVE IN GREEN PASTURE,
WHERE WE SHALL LIVE AND DIE NEVER MORE.
EVEN THE LORD WILL BE IN THAT NUMBER,
WHEN WE HAVE REACHED THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
