Green Pastures Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Troubles and trials often betray those 

Causing the weary body to stray 

But we shall walk beside the still water 

With the good shepherd leading the way 

Going up home to live in green pastures 

Where we shall live and die never more 

Even the Lord will be in that number 

When we have reached that heavenly shore 

Those who have strayed were sought by the master 

He who once gave his life for the sheep 

Out on the mountain still He is searching 

Bringing them in forever to keep 

We will not heed the voice of the stranger 

For he would lead us on to despair 

Following home with Jesus our savior 

We shall all reach that country so fair
