Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #325 (1976) First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall I know.I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest.He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed;Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.2 Thro' the valley and shadow of death though I stray,Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear.Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay.No harm can befall, with my Comforter near;No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread;With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head.Oh, what shall I ask of Thy providence more?Oh, what shall I ask of Thy providence more?4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above.I seek by the path which my forefathers trod,Thro' the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love;Thro' the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love.
