(Music: Come, Come Ye Saints)
Good Shepherd come, sing and gladly say, Praise the lord this day
Lift up your hearts and sing a song anew, God is here, God is here
From the echoes of this holy hill, We pray and do Gods loving will
Richly embracing all so dear, God is here, God is here
Good Shepherd listen do not fear, But with joy, find our way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear, Grace shall be ours today.
Far better for us to work and strive, Our spirit and strength will all survive
Do this with joy and never fear. God is here, God is here
Good Shepherd we shall see the journey’s through, Happy day! All is well
We then are free from toils and sorrows too; With the just we shall dwell!
But as we tarry long again, A crown of joy we shall obtain,
The cross of Christ we all shall bear, God is here, God is here
Good Shepherd let us not think the task is hard, To our Lord, all is right.
Work and our souls will earn a great reward, let us not shun the fight
Refresh your soul, fresh courage take; Our God will never us forsake,
And soon we’ll see our joys are near, God is here, God is here
