Lyrics

Verse 1

My Shepherd, will supply my need;

Jehovah is His name.

In pastures fresh He makes me feed,

beside the living stream.

He brings my wand’ring spirit back

when I forsake His ways,

And leads me, for His mercy’s sake,

in paths of truth and grace.

Verse 2

When I walk through the shades of death,

His presence is my stay;

A word of His supporting breath

drives all my fears away.

His hand, in sight of all my foes,

does still my table spread;

My cup with blessings overflows,

His oil anoints my head.

Verse 3

The sure provisions of my God

attend me all my days;

Oh, may His house be my abode

and all my work be praise!

There would I find a settled rest,

(while others go and come);

No more a stranger or a guest,

but like a child at home.
