Jesus Is My Shepherd

Our Primary has chosen to learn "Jesus Is My Shepherd" printed in the Sept. 2013 Friend, for this month.  The simplified version is perfect for teaching the song to the children.  The original version has an optional obligato and the piano accompaniment does not include the melody.

Green are pastures where He feed me.  picture of the green pasture - place the lamb and Jesus the grass

For His sheep are numbered; each He loves the same.  place all the numbered sheep in the pasture

If my tiny feet should roam 

                              place the foot prints part way off of the pasture with the lamb behind the prints
