The gracious Lord is still, to me

Verse 1

The gracious Lord is still, to me, A shepherd kind, and faithful fuide; Whate'er my wants demand, shall be By his indulgent care, supplied.

Verse 2

In pastures ever fresh, and green, He feeds, and makes me take my rest; He leads me to the silent stream, Or pool which living springs have blessed.

Verse 3

My soul, which his assistance needs, He doth restore, by sovereign grace; For his name's sake, he gently leads Me in the paths of righteousness.

Verse 4

Though through death's gloomy vale I glide, No threatening dangers will I fear; For thou art with me, Lord, to guide Thy rod, and staff, to comfort, there.

Verse 5

My table's with thy bounties spread In sight of all my spiteful foes; Thou dost anoint with oil my head, My cup with blessings overflows.

Verse 6

Goodness, and mercy, from my God, Shall surely crown my future days; Therefore I'll make my fixed abode, Lord, in thy house of prayer, and praise.
