Hymn 168
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Verse 1
The Lord is my shepherd, no want Shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when
oppressed.
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when
oppressed.
Verse 2
Tho’ the valley and shadow of death tho’ I stray,
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay,
No harm can befall with my Comforter near.
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay,
No harm can befall with my Comforter near.
Verse 3
In the midst of affliction my table is spread,
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er;
With perfume and oil thou annointest my head;
O, what shall I ask of thy providence more.
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er;
With perfume and oil thou annointest my head;
O, what shall I ask of thy providence more.
Verse 4
Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek by the path which my fore fathers trod,
Thru’ the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of
love.
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek by the path which my fore fathers trod,
Thru’ the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of
love.
