784. The Lord is our Shepherd, our Guardian and Guide

1 The Lord is our Shepherd, our Guardian and Guide;
Whatever we want he will kindly provide:
To the sheep of his pasture his mercies abound;
His care and protection his flock will surround.

2 The Lord is our Shepherd; what then shall we fear?
What evil can trouble us while he is near?
Not if we are summoned to walk through the vale
Of the shadow of death, shall our hearts ever fail.

3 The Lord is become our salvation and song;
His blessings have followed us all our life long!
His name will we praise while we have any breath,
Be cheerful in life, or be happy in death.
