Representative Text

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I never shall want;
The Lord is my Shepherd, I never shall want.
In pastures so green He my soul ever feeds,
Besides the still waters He leads.

Chorus:
He leads, provides, and satisfies,
Wit love divine that never dies.
My Shepherd, Savior, Lord is He;
My choice He'll ever be.

2 My soul He restoreth, my Shepherd divine;
My soul He restoreth, my Shepherd divine.
In pathways of righteousness He bids me take,
He leadeth me for His Name's sake. [Chorus]

3 Yea, tho' thru the valley of death I will go;
Yea, tho' thru the valley of death I will go;
No evil I'll fear for He with me will be,
His rod and His staff comfort me. [Chorus]

4 My head He anoints and my cup runneth o'er;
My head He anoints and my cup runneth o'er.
A table that even my enemies see,
He always prepareth for me. [Chorus]

5 Both goodness and mercy shall follow with me;
Both goodness and mercy shall follow with me,
And then in the house of the Lord evermore,
I'll dwell on the heavenly shore. [Chorus]
