As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 391 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 1
Shepherd divine, Thou leadest me Where the still waters gently flow; In pastures fair Thou feedest me; I trust Thy love, no want I know.
Verse 2
In danger's hour Thou hidest me, Safe from the foe of Thy dear flock; At sultry noon Thou guidest me, To rest beside the cooling rock.
Verse 3
When chilling dews of evening fall, Then to the fold Thou bidst me come; Gladly I hasten at Thy call; Sweet is the voice that calls me home.
