The Guardian Care of God

Verse 1

Thou, Jehovah, art my Shepherd, Therefore I no want shall know; In green pastures Thou dost rest me, Leadest where still waters flow, And, when fainting, Sweet refreshment dost bestow.

Verse 2

For Thy Name's sake Thou dost guide me In the paths of righteousness; Though I walk the vale of shadows, Fears no more my soul oppress; Thou art with me, With Thy rod and staff to bless.

Verse 3

Thou preparest me a table In the presence of the foe; Thou my head with oil anointest, Yea, my cup doth overflow, O my Savior, Having Thee, no want I know.

Verse 4

Surely grace and lovingkindness Shall forever follow me, Till, my days of life all ended, Evermore my home shall be, O Jehovah, In Thy holy house with Thee.
