213. 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 ev'ry 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.
