THE LORD MY SHEPHERD

THE Lord my Shepherd feeds me

And I no want shall know;

He in green pastures leads me,

By streams which gently flow.

He doth, when ill betides me,

Restore me from distress;

For His name’s sake He guides me

In paths of righteousness.

His rod and staff shall cheer me,

When passing death’s dark vale;

My Lord will still be near me,

And I shall fear no ill.

My food He doth appoint me,

Prepared before my foes;

With oil He doth anoint me;

My cup of bliss o’erflows.

His goodness shall not leave me,

His mercy still shall guide,

Till God’s house shall receive me,

Forever to abide.
