Lyics

Thought I walk through the gloomy vale,

Where death and all its terrors are,

My heart and hope shall never fail,

For God my shepherd's with me there.



Amid the darkness and the deeps,

Thou art my comfort, thou my stay;

Thy staff supports my feeble steps,

Thy rod directs my doubtful way.
