HE 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 wandering, redeems when oppressed. 2 Through the valley and shadow of death, though 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. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er ; With perfume and oil thou anointest my head; Oh! what shall I ask of thy providence more? mf 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God! Still follow my steps, till I meet thee above; I seek-by the path which my forefathers trod, Through the land of their sojourn―thy kingdom of love. PSALM 23, 7s.
