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,
doth 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 will I find reviving rest,
and freely go and come;
no more a stranger or a guest,
but like a child at home.
