In God's green pastures feeding

This song sounds great in a teen choir. Heard it and it was just love at first sight!

This tune just came back to me a week ago and I’ve been trying to remember the lyrics. Found it here and it brought back memories of emotions I had as a teen when we sang this song in youth group. This represents an intimacy with the LORD I needed to regain. So glad I found it here!

I learned this at Bible camp as a young teenager. I played alto recorder and a friend played flute for talent night. As an adult I taught it to my children to sing parts with me. My oldest daughter loved it so much she sang the parts with me at a hymn night when she was about three.

I remember singing this song in the chapel service at our Christian school in the early 60's. I'm glad I found it again.

Have been looking for this song for years. So glad to find it here. Thank you so much.

I learned three verses but for the life of me can only remember two. The first verse (above) is the same. I have *never* heard the second (above). And the additional verse I can remember goes as follows:

Oh, do you know the Shepherd who has died for His sheep?
Know of His cleansing blood, His power to keep?
He's a wonderful Savior and He loves you and me.
Are you His sheep?

Back Home in Ireland we sang the piece in camps , youth and church congregationally . My Mum played at home on her piano for me to practice for me to lead off .

What a joy to find this song here. I learned this song at Camp Fireside, a Christian camp in New Hampshire back in the early 60’s. We were only taught the first verse. Our chapel , Garrish Chapel, had a metal roof and on torrential raining days you could not even hear the pastor. So, we were instructed to sing this song as loud as we could! It was so much fun. Sometimes we sang the song in round. My very best memories as a young girl came from my many summers at this camp and remembering this song which I still sing from time to time when I am troubled and feeling lost.

our maternal uncle taught us this song... we used to sing in rounds. I still cherish those times. I even taught this song to my son.

I've sung this since I was a child and it's one of my favorites. I've always known the second verse to be:

Yes the Lord is my shepherd
And no want shall I know.
He'll guide and comfort me
Where 'ere I go.
On the mount, in the valley,
By His hand He shall lead,
His sheep all I.
