Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#526

526. The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supplied

1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied;
Since he is mine and I am his,
What can I want beside?

2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.

3 If e’er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim,
And guides me in his own right way,
For his most holy Name. A-men.

4 While he affords his aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death’s dark shade,
My Shepherd’s with me there.

5 In sight of all my foes
Thou dost a table spread;
My cup with blessing overflows,
And joy exalts my head.

6 The bounties of thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak thy praise.

Amen.
