LyicsMy Shepherd's mighty aid,
His dear redeeming love,
His all-protecting power displayed,
I joy to prove.
Led onward by my Guide,
I tread the beauteous scene,
Where tranquil waters gently glide
Through pastures green.
In error's maze my soul
Shall wander now no more;
His Spirit shall, with sweet control,
The lost restore;
My willing steps he'll lead
In paths of righteousness;
His power defend, his bounty feed,
His mercy bless.
Affliction's deepest gloom
Shall but his love display;
He will the vale of death illume
With living ray.
I lean upon his rod,
And thankfully adore;
My heart shall vindicate my God
For evermore.
His goodness ever nigh,
His mercy ever free,
Shall while I live, shall when I die,
Still follow me.
Forever shall my soul
His boundless blessings prove,
And, while eternal ages roll,
Adore and love.
