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 heav'nly pasture grows,

Where living waters gently pass,

And full salvation flows.



If e'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 thro' death's dark shade,

My Shepherd's with me there.
