1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want;
In Him I now abide;
IN pastures green He leadeth me,
Where quiet waters glide.
Refrain:
He leadeth my soul to the fountain of life;
Beneath it I plunge, my robes are made white;
No longer I walk ‘mid the billows of strife,
He leadeth by day and by night.
2 In mercy I cry, restore me again,
Give wisdom to my heart,
To choose the path of righteousness
And from it ne’er depart. [Refrain]
3 E’en tho’ I shall tread the valley of death,
I’ll never shrink or fear;
Thy rod and staff shall comfort me,
Thy presence shall be near. [Refrain]
4 A table before me Thou shalt prepare,
Tho’ enemies surround;
With oil shalt Thou my head anoint,
With joy shall I abound. [Refrain]
