108.  In God’s Green Pastures

 

In God’s green pastures feeding by his cool waters lie; Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I, All the sheep of his pasture fare so wondrously fine;

His sheep am I.

Sisters: Waters cool,

Brothers:   In the valley;

Sisters:    Pastures green,

Brothers:   On the mountain,

Sisters:   In the evening

Brothers:   In the evening

All:   Walk my Lord and I.

Sisters:   Dark the night,

Brothers:   In the valley,

Sisters:   Rough the way,

Brothers:   On the mountain,

Sisters:   Step by step

Brothers:   Step by step,

All:   My Lord and I.

 

2.

Thro' the streets of the city in the darkness of night, Far from the fold, he heard my lonely cry.  Now I sit at his table in the palace of light; His sheep am I.

Sisters:   Waters cool,

Brothers:   In the valley;

Sisters:   Pastures green,

Brothers:   On the mountain,

Sisters:   In the evening

Brothers:   In the evening

All:   Walk my Lord and I.

Sisters:   Dark the night,

Brothers:   In the valley,

Sisters:   Rough the way,

Brothers:   On the mountain,

Sisters:   Step by step

Brothers:   Step by step,

All:   My Lord and I.

 

3.

God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all, O how we love within his presence to dwell. In this light we enjoy a constant cleansing within,

From every sin.

Sisters:   In the light,

Brothers:   We are walking

Sisters:   Fellowship,

Brothers:   We're enjoying,

Sisters:   And the blood,

Brothers:   Of God's son,

All:   Is cleansing us from sin.

Sisters:   We confess,

Brothers:   He is faithful,

Sisters:   To forgive,

Brothers:   He is righteous,

Sisters:   What a joy,

Brothers:   We are cleansed,

All:   From every sin.
