My Shepherd Will Supply My Need from Psalm 23 Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

RESIGNATION (C.M.) American Alternate tunes: 1 | 2

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.
