Campbell Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #237 (2001) First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want Refrain First Line: We will walk thru the valley Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want; By still waters He leadeth His sheep; Tho' the enemy gather and foes may oppress, Jesus watches while His little ones sleep. Refrain: We will walk thru the valley, We will walk in peace; We will walk thru the valley with Jesus alone; On His rod and His staff the valley of death, We will walk thru the valley in peace. 2 He maketh me to lie down in pastures green, My cup with His blessings overflows; He anointeth my head with oil from above, For my Master has bountiful stores. [Refrain] 3 He prepareth a table in the midst of my foes, But His goodness and mercy are there; At the end of death's valley, in the house of the Lord, There forever His goodness we'll share.

Lucie Eddie Campbell

1885 - 1963 Person Name: L. E. C. Adapter of "The Lord Is My Shephed" in The New National Baptist Hymnal Lucie Eddie Campbell, April 30, 1885–January 3, 1963, one of nine children born to parents who were slaves in Mississippi. She moved to Memphis with her mother after her father died when she was two years old. Became first Music Director of newly formed Education arm for the new National Baptist Convention formed in 1916 in Memphis. In 1919 at a NBC convention in Atlantic City, Campbell introduced a young, blind singer, Connie Rosemond, who electrified the delegates with his rendition of Campbell’s first gospel hymn, “Something Within.” Campbell met Rosemond on the famous Beale St in Memphis. She heard a man betting $10 that he could make the blind youngster “get down in the alley” an expression for singing the blues. The young man refused to sing, saying I’m trying to be a Christian in this dark world, and I believe I have found a way out of this darkness into light. I can’t explain it, but there’s something within me. His words inspired Lucy Campbell to write her first song, Something Within, which was the first gospel hymn written by a black woman. At this same convention in 1919, Campbell introduced singer Marion Anderson to the world as she accompanied her. Anderson would go to become a world-renowned classical contralto singer. Lucie Campbell was also good friends with Thomas A Dorsey, who wrote Peace in the Valley and Precious Lord, Take My Hand, was the first African American inducted into the Gospel Music H.O.F.
