I am posting two versions of this hymn. It's one of my favorites and carries some special meaning for me. I believe that this was written by Dr. Ralph Stanley and Larry Sparks.
The first version below has Larry Sparks, Alison Krauss, and Judy Marshall on it. I do love those harmonies.
This second version is The Larry Nelson Family at the Lighthouse Baptist Church at La Porte, Texas in 2018. It has that warm down-home feel for me.
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.
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 a mountain still He is searching
Bringing them in forever to keep.
Where we shall live and die never more.
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore.
We will not heed the voice of the stranger
For he would lead us home to despair.
Following home with Jesus our savior
We shall all reach that country so fair.
Where we shall live and die never more.
Even the Lord will be in that number
When we have reached that heavenly shore.
