Lyrics:

Refrain: Like a shepherd he feeds his flock, and gathers the lambs in His arms, holding them carefully close to His heart, leading them home.

1. Say to the cities of Judah: Prepare the way of the Lord. Go to the mountain top lift your voice. Jerusalem, here is your God.

2. I myself will shepherd them, for others have led them astray. The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds, and pasture them giving them rest.

3. Come unto me if you are heavily burdened and take my yoke upon your shoulders. I will give you rest.
