The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#180e

180e. The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!
How tender and watchful my wants to supply!
He daily provides me with raiment and food;
Whate'er he denies me is meant for my good.

2 The Lord is my Shepherd, then I must obey
His gracious commandments, and walk in his way;
His fear he will teach me, my heart he'll renew,
And though I'm so sinful, my sins he'll subdue.

3 The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I,
I'm blest when I live, and I'm blest when I die;
In death's gloom valley no evil I'll dread,
"For I will be with thee," my Shepherd has said.

4 The Lord is my Shepherd, I'll sing with delight.
Till call'd to adore him in regions of light;
Then praise him with angels to bright harps of gold.
And ever and ever his glory behold.
