Looking for lyrics to "There is a fold whence none can stray"

I don't remember the first verse, other than that line, but the second verse goes like this:

One narrow vale, one darkness glade,
divides that land from this,
I have a SHepherd pledged to save
and bring my home to bliss.
Soon at his feet my soul shall lie,
In life's last shuddering breath,
But I shall only seem to die,
I shall not taste of death."

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is the song you were requesting.

THERE IS A FOLD WHENCE NONE CAN STRAY.
By Rev W.H.Cooke M.A.

Solo:
There is a fold whence none can stray,
And pastures ever green,
Where sultry sun or stormy day,
Or night is never seen.

There is a fold whence none can stray,
And pastures ever green,
Where sultry sun or stormy day,
Or night is never seen.

Solo:
Far up the everlasting hills,
In God's own light it lies;
His smile its vast, dimension fills
With joy that never dies....
With joy that never dies.
One narrow vale, one darksome wave,
Divides that land from this;
I have a Shepherd pledged to save,
And bear me home to bliss,
And bear me home to bliss...

Soon at His feet my soul will lie,
In life's last struggling breath;
But I shall only seem to die,
I shall not taste of death.
Far from this guilty world to be
Exempt from toil and strife,
To spend eternity with Thee,
My Saviour, this is life,
My Saviour, this is life....
My Saviour,(My Saviour this is life)
My Saviour,this is life(My Saviour)

These last two lines show (in parenthesis) the lines the alto's or etc will be singing while the lead sings the other part.
