Jesus is our Shepherd by Francis Duckworth — Lyrics
1 Jesus is our Shepherd,
Wiping every tear;
Folded in His bosom,
What have we to fear?
Only let us follow
Whither He doth lead,
To the thirsty desert
Or the dewy mead.
2 Jesus is our Shepherd:
Well we know His voice;
How its gentlest whisper
Makes our heart rejoice!
Even when He chideth,
Tender is its tone;
None but He shall guide us;
We are His alone.

About Jesus is our Shepherd
Francis Duckworth's Jesus is our Shepherd is a hymn for SATB choir, sung in English. Its text offers comforting reassurance, portraying Jesus as a devoted shepherd who guides, protects, and intimately knows his flock. The lyrics emphasize trust in His leadership, even through difficult times, and reflect on the sacrifice made for believers. The music is likely to mirror the text's themes of gentle guidance and unwavering care, making it a fitting choice for services or occasions focusing on divine protection and spiritual constancy. Duckworth's setting would appeal to choirs looking for accessible yet meaningful sacred repertoire.
