Psalms of Grace ‎#23a

23a. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

1 My Shepherd will supply my need;
Jehovah is His 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 through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of Thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

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

5 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my 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.
