Text: | The Lord my Shepherd is |
Author: | Watts |
Tune: | BETHLEHEM |
1 The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied:
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e'er I go astray,
He doth my Soul reclaim;
And guides me in His own right way,
For His most holy Name.
4 While He affords His aid,
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death's dark shade,
My Shepherd's with me there.
5 The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
