Lyrics

1. A river keeps the pastures green where feed the lambs of Christ serene. They have in the apostles' word the voice of the Good Shepherd heard.
2. Forgiven is our sin and shame; the Paschal Lamb bears all the blame. He gave to us salvation's light and brought us forth from sin and night.
3. Not empty words that vainly call; redemption brought from sinful fall. The heart bears witness of the deed the Son of God performed in need.
4. The Shepherd's found! O blessed fate! Through grace and the apostolate, to be a lamb of Jesus' fold, salvation brings and joy untold!
Refrain: Unto the Lamb be laud and praise who gives to us the bread of grace! In sacred realms the joys abound which are in our communion found. There is our shield: The blessed fold; our home, our Father's house, behold!
