405 ~ The Lord Is My Shepherd
1
The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed,
2
Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay. No harm can befall with my Comforter near.
3
In the midst of affliction my table is spread. With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er; With perfume and oil thou anointest my head; Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence more?
4
Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above; I seek — by the path which my forefathers trod, Through the land of their sojourn — Thy kingdom of love.
