Good Shepherd’s Place
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Across the river my paradise waits
A house that becomes my home
With fields and trees and pasturelands
No longer the flock will roam
And if one of these little ones fall
I’ll lift it back up again
There is no curse in God’s kingdom at all
But only good will toward men
The ones on whom His favor rests
Like shepherds out in the field
They’re there to watch and guard and keep
And all the sick to heal
