(verse 1) 
B                         E 
Trouble and trials often betray those, 
B                         F# 
On  in the weary body to stray, 
              B                    E 
But we shall walk beside the still waters, 
               B       F#          B 
With the good shepherd leading the way, 
 
(verse 2) 
B                                         E 
Those who have strayed were sought by the master, 
            B                     F# 
He who once gave his life for the sheep, 
            B                   E 
Out on the mountain still he is seaching, 
              B    F#       B 
Bringing them in forever to keep, 


B                              E    
Going up home to live in green pastures, 
               B                  F# 
Where we shall live and die never more, 
         B                    E 
Even the Lord will be in that number, 
              B            F#       B 
When we shall reach   that heavenly shore,  
 
(verse 3) 
B                               E 
We will not heed the voice of a stranger, 
             B               F# 
For he would lead us all  to despair, 
          B                   E 
Following on with Jesuse our savior, 
             B          F#         B 
We shall all reach that country so fair, 
 
(chorus) 
B                              E    
Going up home to live in green pastures, 
               B                  F# 
Where we shall live and die never more, 
         B                    E 
Even the Lord will be in that number, 
              B            F#       B 
When we shall reach that heavenly shore,
