My Shepherd Is the Lord

Verse 1

My Shepherd is the Lord most high, And all my wants shall be supplied; In pastures green He makes me lie, And leads by streams which gently glide.

Verse 2

He in His mercy doth restore My soul, when sinking in distress; For His name's sake He evermore Leads me in paths of righteousness.

Verse 3

Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale, Even there no evil will I fear; Because Thy presence shall not fail, Thy rod and staff my soul shall cheer.

Verse 4

For me a table Thou hast spread, Prepared before the face of foes; With oil Thou dost anoint my head; My cup is filled and overflows.

Verse 5

Goodness and mercy shall not cease Through all my days to follow me; And in God's house my dwelling place With Him forever more shall be.
