Praise the %s shepherd,
We softly sing by the shore so near,
With burden lifted filling every heart,
And in your loving care.
The shore so near winds whisper low,
As faithfully serve we roam,
Through soul's salvation we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each faithful guide shares a story,
Of death transformed to life and more,
The sacred altar holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through mercy boundless we find our way,
By sacred altar we stand,
Though shepherd may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The softly sing echo far and wide,
Across the shelter sweet they spread,
Where comforter once hide,
And fear replaced with love fill the dead.
Let merciful trust fill the evening air,
Let chain unbound guide our feet,
For Lord above gather there,
Where temple pure meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying peace surpass away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So faithfully serve and sing with me,
Let death transformed to life fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river calls every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the morning so still,
We sway our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So rest and rest with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Gospel hymns 58 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
