Lyrics
Verse 1
My Shepherd, will supply my need;
Verse 3
The sure provisions of my God
Verse 2
When I walk through the shades of death,
Verse 3
attend me all my days;
Verse 2
His presence is my stay;
Verse 1
Jehovah is His name.
Verse 3
Oh, may His house be my abode
Verse 1
In pastures fresh He makes me feed,
Verse 2
A word of His supporting breath
Verse 1
beside the living stream.
Verse 2
drives all my fears away.
Verse 3
and all my work be praise!
Verse 2
His hand, in sight of all my foes,
Verse 1
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
Verse 3
There would I find a settled rest,
Verse 2
does still my table spread;
Verse 1
when I forsake His ways,
Verse 3
(while others go and come);
Verse 2
My cup with blessings overflows,
Verse 1
And leads me, for His mercy's sake,
Verse 3
No more a stranger or a guest,
Verse 1
in paths of truth and grace.
Verse 2
His oil anoints my head.
Verse 3
but like a child at home.
