My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: Homecoming Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need: The God of love supreme; In pastures green you make me feed, Beside the living stream. You bring my wand'ring spirit back When I forsake your ways; And lead me, for your mercy’s sake, In paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, Your presence is my stay; One word of your supporting breath Drives all my fears away. Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise! There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come. No more a stranger, nor a guest; But like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
