God our Shepherd

Verse 1

My shepherd is the living Lord: now shall my needs be well supplied; his loving care and holy word will be my safety and my guide.

Verse 2

In pastures where salvation grows he makes me feed, he gives me rest; there living water gently flows, and food is given, divinely blest.

Verse 3

Though I walk through the gloomy vale where death and all its terrors are, my heart and hope shall never fail: my shepherd holds me in his care.

Verse 4

Amid the darkness and the deeps, God is my comfort, God my stay; his staff supports my feeble steps, his rod directs my doubtfilled way.

Verse 5

Surely the mercies of the Lord attend his household all their days; there will I dwell, to hear his word, to seek his face, to sing his praise.
