|  | | 1. Though beneath the drifting snow,
Summer flow’rs have
been laid low,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care;
Tho’ the sunbeams hide away,
On the dark and cloudy day,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care.
Refrain.
Safe, in the tender Shepherd’s care,
Safe on His bosom He will bear
Those who trust His mighty love,
Bear them to the land above,
Safe in the Shepherd’s tender care.
2. In green pastures I’ll be fed,
By the quiet waters led,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care;
He will guide me to the fold,
Sheltered from the wint’ry cold,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care.
Refrain.
Safe, in the tender Shepherd’s care,
Safe on His bosom He will bear
Those who trust His mighty love,
Bear them to the land above,
Safe in the Shepherd’s tender care.
3. Through the valley dark and deep,
He will comfort, He will keep,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care;
Happy in His saving grace,
Till I see His blessèd face,
I am safe in the
tender Shepherd’s care.
Refrain.
Safe, in the tender Shepherd’s care,
Safe on His bosom He will bear
Those who trust His mighty love,
Bear them to the land above,
Safe in the Shepherd’s tender care.
