272. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

1 My Shepherd will supply my need— Jehovah is His name.
In pastures fresh He makes me feed beside the living stream.
He brings my wand’ring spirit back when I forsake His ways
And leads me, for His mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and grace.

2 When I walk through the shades of death, His presence is my stay;
One word of His supporting breath drives all my fears away.
His hand, in sight of all my foes, will still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows; His oil anoints my head.

3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days;
Oh, may His house be my abode and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come;
No more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home.
