- 1The Lord my Shepherd is,
- I shall be well supplied;
- Since He is mine and I am His,
- What can I want beside?
- 2He leads me to the place
- Where heavenly pasture grows,
- Where living waters gently pass,
- And full salvation flows.
- 3If e’er I go astray,
- He doth my soul reclaim,
- And guides me in His own right way,
- For His most holy Name.
- 4While He affords His aid,
- I cannot yield to fear;
- Though I should walk through death’s dark shade,
- My Shepherd’s with me there.
- 5The bounties of Thy love
- Shall crown my coming days;
- Nor from Thy house will I remove,
- Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
- 6Amen.
