The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#54

54. The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want

1 The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green, he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for his own name’s sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill,
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be.
