54. My Shepherd will supply my need

1 My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is is name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed
Beside the living stream.

2 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.

3 When I walk thro' the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

4 Thy hand, in spite of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil annoints my head.

5 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise.

6 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.
