1 Perhaps my dear Shepherd may lead into meadows
Where greenest the grasses may grow;
Perhaps he may lead me in deserts and shadows:
Wherever he leads me I’ll go.

Refrain:
And now, on my ear sweetest music is falling,
A voice oh, so gentle and low,
The voice of my Shepherd this moment is calling:
Wherever he leads me I’ll go. [Refrain]

2 Perhaps my good Shepherd may guard while I’m resting
Beside where the still waters flow;
Perhaps the mad billows my soul must be breasting:
Wherever he leads me I’ll go. [Refrain]

3 Perhaps I’ll have sunshine, I may have disaster,
The future I care not to know;
I’ll trust everything to the care of the Master,
Wherever he leads me I’ll go. [Refrain]
