(verse 1) 
B5                         E5 
Trouble and trials often betray those, 
B5                         F#5 
On  in the weary body to stray, 
              B5                    E5 
But we shall walk beside the still waters, 
               B5       F#5          B5 
With the good shepherd leading the way, 
 
(verse 2) 
B5                                         E5 
Those who have strayed were sought by the master, 
            B5                     F#5 
He who once gave his life for the sheep, 
            B5                   E5 
Out on the mountain still he is seaching, 
              B5    F#5       B5 
Bringing them in forever to keep, 


B5                              E5    
Going up home to live in green pastures, 
               B5                  F#5 
Where we shall live and die never more, 
         B5                    E5 
Even the Lord will be in that number, 
              B5            F#5       B5 
When we shall reach   that heavenly shore,  
 
(verse 3) 
B5                               E5 
We will not heed the voice of a stranger, 
             B5               F#5 
For he would lead us all  to despair, 
          B5                   E5 
Following on with Jesuse our savior, 
             B5          F#5         B5 
We shall all reach that country so fair, 
 
(chorus) 
B5                              E5    
Going up home to live in green pastures, 
               B5                  F#5 
Where we shall live and die never more, 
         B5                    E5 
Even the Lord will be in that number, 
              B5            F#5       B5 
When we shall reach that heavenly shore,
