Full Lyrics
Weary and sad at heart, bent 'neath thy load;
Heavy is thy burden, dark is the road:
Then, in thy loneliness, help draweth nigh;
Jesu, kind Shepherd, will hear, thy cry:
Beside still waters He leadeth thee;
His love will guard thee tenderly;
Thy grief shall pass, thy doubt shall fire;
Beside still waters He leadeth thee.
Lost in the darkness, far from thy goal;
No voice to cheer thee, none to console:
Broken in spirit, hope seems in vain;
Then, in thy hour of need, joy comes again.
Fear not, O pilgrim, dark tho' the way;
Press on and faint not; soon come the day.
"Lead on, kind Shepherd," this be thy prayer;
Jesu will guide thee to pastures fair.
Beside still waters He leadeth thee;
His love will guard thee tenderly;
Thy grief shall pass, thy doubt shall fire;
Beside still waters He leadeth thee.
