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.
