717. My Shepherd

1 Jesus is my Shepherd, nothing shall I need;
In the green, sweet pastures He doth ever lead,
And beside the waters, crystal, pure, and still,
Yea, to overflowing He my cup doth fill.

Refrain:
Jesus is my Shepherd, He supplies my needs,
In the shining pathway, tenderly He leads;
He protects and shelters in His peaceful fold,
From the many dangers, from the storm and cold.

2 He doth always lead me in the narrow way,
And my soul restoreth if I go astray;
Though through death’s dark valley I must shortly go,
In His blessed presence I will fear no foe. [Refrain]

3 He will ever bless me, all my needs supply;
Yea, with richest favors He will satisfy;
In a shining mansion, fitted up for me,
I will live with Jesus through eternity. [Refrain]
