My soul is lost so lonely and so cold   Just like a lamb that has strayed from the fold   Across the barren waste of sin I roam   Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and lead me home      Oh gentle shepherd hear my lonely cry   And in Thy cool green pastures let me lie   Beside the still clear waters lead Thou me   Oh gentle shepherd safe forever more with Thee      (The hours go by on frightened wings of flight   While wolves of hell are waiting for the night)   You claim the soul that's strayed from the fold   Oh gentle shepherd hear my cry and save my soul   (Gentle shepherd save my soul)
