The Lord is my shepherd

Leonard Weaver (1894) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 23

Verse 1

I have a Shepherd, One I love so well; How He has blessed me tongue can never tell; On the cross He suffered, shed His blood and died, That I might ever in His love confide.

Chorus

Following Jesus, ever day by day, Nothing can harm me when He leads the way; Darkness or sunshine, whate'er befall— Jesus, the Shepherd, is my All in All.

Verse 2

Pastures abundant doth His hand provide, Still waters flowing ever at my side, Goodness and mercy follow on my track, With such a Shepherd nothing can I lack.

Chorus

Following Jesus, ever day by day, Nothing can harm me when He leads the way; Darkness or sunshine, whate'er befall— Jesus, the Shepherd, is my All in All.

Verse 3

When I would wander from the path astray, Then He will draw me back into the way; In the darkest valley I need fear no ill, For He, my Shepherd, will be with me still.

Chorus

Following Jesus, ever day by day, Nothing can harm me when He leads the way; Darkness or sunshine, whate'er befall— Jesus, the Shepherd, is my All in All.
