1. The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied.
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
I shall be well supplied.
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
2. He leads me to the place
Where heav'nly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass
And full salvation flows.
Where heav'nly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass
And full salvation flows.
3. If e'er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim
And guides me in His own right way
For His most holy name.
He doth my soul reclaim
And guides me in His own right way
For His most holy name.
4. While He affords His aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death's dark shade,
My Shepherd's with me there.
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death's dark shade,
My Shepherd's with me there.
5. Amid surrounding foes
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessing overflows,
And joy exults my head.
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessing overflows,
And joy exults my head.
6. The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days,
Nor from Thy house will I remove
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
Shall crown my following days,
Nor from Thy house will I remove
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
