Lyics

The Lord my shepherd is;

I shall be well supplied;

Since he is mine, and I am his,

What can I want beside?



He leads me to the place

Where heavenly pasture grows,

Where living waters gently pass,

And full salvation flows.



If o'er I go astray,

He doth my soul reclaim,

And guides me in his own right way,

For his most holy name.



While he affords his aid,

I can not yield to fear;

Though I should walk through death's dark shade,

My shepherd's with me there.
