Thou Art My Shepherd

Representative Text

1 Thou art my Shepherd,
Caring in every need,
Watching Thy flock to feed;
I trust Thee still.
In the green pastures low,
Where living waters flow,
Safe by Thy side I go,
Fearing no ill.

2 Or if my way lie
Where darkening shadows nigh
My soul would terrify
With sudden chill,
Yet I am not afraid;
While softly on my head
Thy tender hand is laid,
I fear no ill.

3 Goodness and mercy
Ever shall follow me,
Till by Thy grace I see
Thy holy hill.
Lord, in that home with Thee,
Joyful eternally,
Folded Thy flock shall be,
Safe from all ill.
