LyicsThe Lord my pasture shall pre-pare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks he will at-tend,
And all my mid-night hours de-fend.
When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary wandering steps he leads;
Where peaceful rivers soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscapes flow.
Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious, lonely wilds I stray,
Thy presence shall my pain beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden green and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou O Lord! art with me still;
Thy friendly rod shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
