My Shepherd Will Supply My Need (Psalm 23)

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 237 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:6 First Line: My shepherd will supply my need Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his name. In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back when I forsake his ways, and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death your presence is my stay; one word of your supporting breath drives all my fears away. Your hand, in sight of all my foes, does still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows; your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, and all my work be praise. 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. Topics: Living and Dying in Christ; Providence Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

I could not do without Thee

I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 3 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And now in solemn silence The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And, tho' the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."
