I Shall Not Want

Verse 1

I shall not want while Jesus leads, Nor hunger while my soul he feeds; My Guide for evermore is he, His rod and staff they comfort me.

Chorus

I shall not want, I shall not want, The Lord my Shepherd is; In pastures green he feedeth me. By waters still he leadeth me; I shall not want, I shall not want. The Lord my Shepherd is.

Verse 2

E’en tho’ I pass thro’ death’s dark vale, My rod of comfort shall not fail; The valley’s shade shall not alarm, I shall not want or suffer harm.

Verse 3

I shall not want for joy, for lo, My cup with grace shall overflow; My soul by pow’r divine restored, Loves oil upon my head outpoured.

Verse 4

My song thro’ life shall ever b, Goodness and mercy follow me; And in God’s house for evermore I’ll dwell on Canaan’s happy shore.
