The God of love my Shepherd is And He that doth me feed

Verse 1

The God of love my shepherd is, and he that doth me feed; while he is mine and I am his, what can I want or need?

Verse 2

He leads me to the tender grass, where I both feed and rest; then to the streams that gently pass: in both I have the best.

Verse 3

Or if I stray, he doth convert, and bring my mind in frame, and all this not for my desert, but for his holy name.

Verse 4

Yea, in death's shady black abode well may I walk, not fear; for thou art with me, and thy rod to guide, thy staff to bear.

Verse 5

Surely thy sweet and wondrous love shall measure all my days; and, as it never shall remove, so neither shall my praise.
