The Lord Is My Shepherd

Verse 1

The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know, He makes me to rest where the green pastures grow; He takes me away from the world and its strife, And leads me beside the still waters of life.

Verse 2

My soul often weary with sin and with care, He restores and gives strength in answer to pray’r. In th’path of the righteous my feet he will keep; The Lord is my Shepherd; he guardeth his sheep.

Verse 3

When thro’ the deep valley of death I shall go, Its shade shall not fright me, no evil I’ll know. Thou, Shepherd, art with me; thy staff and thy rod My comfort shall be thro’ this pathway to God.

Verse 4

Thou spread’st me a table in presence of foes, With thy love and rich grace my cup overflows; With goodness and mercy thou crownest my days, And fain would I dwell with thee, ever to praise.
