Cântăre He Keepeth Me in Peace

1. As I walk in pastures green,

By the crystal waters’ sheen,

Jesus gives me from all sorrow and from care release;

As a shepherd doth his sheep,

He my soul doth ever keep,

While I’m trusting I have perfect peace.



R: Oh, He keepeth me in perfect peace,

Yes, He keepeth me in perfect peace;

While on Him my mind is stayed,

I can never be afraid,

For He keepeth me in perfect peace.



2. Dwelling in the secret place,

Where I see my Father’s face,

I have found a heav’nly refuge, and my troubles cease;

In the shadow of His wings,

How my happy spirit sings,

For He keepeth me in perfect peace.



3. From temptation’s trying hour

He will keep me by His pow’r,

If I meekly all the mandates of His law obey;

Since the blessed Savior came,

In my heart with love aflame,

Peace is reigning all along the way.



4. As the apple of His eye

He will keep me till I die,

For the One who watches o’er me never falls asleep;

He surrounds me like a wall,

Yes, He is my all in all,

And my soul in perfect peace He’ll keep.
