108. The Lord is my shepherd

1 The Lord is my shepherd, away then with care,
No want shall I know while his mercy I share;
From pastures of plenty I'll gather my bread,
And by the still waters, my feet shall be led.

Chorus:
The Lord is my Shepherd; Away then with care,
No want shall I know, while his mercy I share,
No want shall I know, while his mercy I share.

2 He never forsakes me, tho' often I stray,
But gently reclaims me when tempted away;
Thro' darkness and danger he guides me along,
And tho' I am feeble, my shepherd is strong. [Chorus]

3 I know I must pass thro' the valley of death,
But he will go with me, "Fear nothing," he saith;
Thy rod and thy staff, precious Saviour, shall be,
Strong help, and swift comfort, forever, for me. [Chorus]
