In God's green pastures feeding by His cool waters lie;
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I,
All the sheep of His pasture
Fare so wondrously fine; His sheep am I.
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I,
All the sheep of His pasture
Fare so wondrously fine; His sheep am I.

Through the streets of the city in the darkness of the night,
Far from the fold, He heard my lonely cry.
Now I sit at His table in the palace of light;
His sheep am I.
Far from the fold, He heard my lonely cry.
Now I sit at His table in the palace of light;
His sheep am I.

The manager at a station in Parkersburg let a troupe of us from summer camp sing into his can and I remember this song from that time (about 1963).

I remember singing this song during the meetings of a Christian girls club equivalent to Girl Scouts called Pioneer Girls in the 60s…Such a lovely song of God’s ever present provision and grace… Wonderful imagery of the sheep and the shepherd in His pastures

My sister and I learned this in church school morning worship services. It is a beloved song. For our beloved Father we still sing it at church special music and for any given moment to Praise God! I am so blessed to read all your stories here friends!

3rd verse:
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?

I sang this song in 6th through 8th grade. This song brings back many fond and meaningful memories. After all these year I could only recalled part of the lyrics but I remembered the tune. I was ecstatic that I found the song. Over the last 45 years I have looked for the entire lyrics. My children have heard me speak of this song there entire life now I can share it with my children and grandchildren.

I am 63 years old. My dad pastored, on Sunday nights the teens would go to a members house for fellowship, games and food. Being a PK I got to go. At the age of 9, I was riding in the Coopers station wagon with them and 6 teenagers to their house. We were singing this song when we crossed a RR track with a train coming. Mr & Mrs Cooper died, and the teenager in the very back were killed. As I’m going through my parents belongings I come across the newspaper articles. My mind immediately goes to this song. Soothing in the tragedy. Peaceful in the memories.

My mom used to sing this when I was a little girl. One of my best memories of her, since her passing in 97. I cherish all that was good in her.

I learned this song originally in piano lessons. It was in The Sacred Music songbook. I later sang it at youth camp.
When I had children, I sang this nightly as a lullaby to them. And now I sing it as a lullaby to my great grandchildren.
