21. The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!
How tender and watchful my wants to supply,
He daily provides me with raiment and food;
Whate'er he denies me is meant for my good,

2 The Lord is my Shepherd, then I must obey
His gracious commandment, and walk in his way;
His fear he will teach me, my heart he'll renew,
And though I'm so sinful, my sins he'll subdue,

3 The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!
I'm blest while I live, and I'm blest when I die;
In death's gloomy valley no evil I'll dread,
"For I will be with thee," my Shepherd has said,

4 The Lord is my Shepherd, I'll sing with delight,
Till called to adore him in regions of light;
Then praise him with angels to bright harps of gold,
And ever and ever his glory behold.
