The Shepherd of the Spring Laughter ripples through the hills Bounces round the glen, For the Shepherd of the Spring Has brought us here again. He has brought us to His spring To fellowship with Him - To teach of hope and love and peace To strengthen us again. Days are spent in wonder At the Shepherd’s handiwork. The nights are filled with splendor His lanterns over all. Silence fills the valley now, Flows in reverence to our God. A peace to settle over us Flows from the Shepherd’s hand. A spirit leaves this place with us A will to do His will. The Shepherd travels with us The Shepherd of the Spring. Judy Clister, 1991
