THE LORD'S MY SHEPHERD

A HYMN FOR GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY

1. The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
   He makes me down to lie
   In pastures green; He leadeth me
   The quiet waters by.
2. My soul He doth restore again,
   And me to walk doth make
   Within the paths of righteousness,
   E’en for His own name’s sake.
3. Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
   Yet will I fear no ill;
   For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
   And staff my comfort still.
4. My table Thou hast furnished me
   In presence of my foes;
   My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
   And my cup overflows.
5. Goodness and mercy all my life
   Shall surely follow me;
   And in God’s house forevermore,
   My dwelling place shall be.
6. By Francis Rous, 1650
