My god you have utterly destroyed the lyrics to this wonderful song. Did you really think she said "When we shall all be, silenced to Wally's when a good sheriff leading the way"?!?!?! Please for the love of all that is good fix these lyrics. See the CORRECT lyrics below: Troubles and trials often betray those On in the weary body to stray But we shall walk beside the still waters With the Good Shepherd leading The Way 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 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 shall reach that Heavenly Shore We will not heed the voice of the stranger For he would lead us to despair Following on with Jesus our savior We shall all reach that country so fair 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 shall reach that Heavenly Shore

Is anyone ever going to correct these lyrics? This song is ruined this way. I really want to learn it properly

Thanks for that!
