My Shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is His name. In pastures fresh He makes me feed Beside the living stream. He brings my wand’ring spirit back When I forsake His ways, And leads me, for His mercy’s sake, In paths of truth and grace.

When I walk through the shades of death, Thy presence is my stay; A word of Thy supporting breath Drives all my fears away. Thy hand in sight of all my foes Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings over flows, Thine oil anoints my head.

The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may Thy house be mine abode And all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest While others go and come; No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home.
