My Shep-herd will sup-ply my need:
Je-ho-vah is His name;
In pas-tures fresh He makes me feed,
Be-side the liv-ing stream.
He brings my wan-der-ing spir-it back
When I for-sake His ways,
And leads me, for His mer-cy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death
His pres-ence is my stay;
One word of His sup-port-ing grace
Drives all my fears a-way.
His hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my ta-ble spread;
My cup with bless-ings o-ver-flows,
His oil a-noints my head.
The sure pro-vi-sions of my God
At-tend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my a-bode,
And all my work be praise.
There would I find a set-tled rest,
While oth-ers go and come;
No more a strang-er nor a guest,
But like a child at home.
