Suggested Lyrics to: Sheep May Safely Graze

Sheep May Safely Graze
Cantata 208
Johann Sebastian Bach
1685 – 1750

Sheep safely graze amid verdant pastures
The Shepherd keeps a careful watch o’er His flock
Sheep safely graze amid verdant pastures
Serenely they graze in safety
While tended by the Shepherd
Midst the verdant fields they safely graze.


(alt.lyrics)
Sheep may safely graze
Whilst the shepherd is watching.
Where the wise and good rule
Peace will also reign there
And there will be peace throughout the world.

german lyrics

I could only find the german lyrics so far. The song is written by Johann Sebastian Bach and he used the following german lyrics:
Schafe können sicher weiden, wo ein guter Hirte wacht,
Schafe können sicher weiden, Schafe können sicher weiden,
wo ein guter Hirte wacht, wo ein guter Hirte wacht.
Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren,
und was Lánder glücklich macht.
Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren,
und was Länder glücklich macht.

It does have lyrics

This song was sung at an all district recital, although typically done instrumental, it does indeed have lyrics.
