God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in him indeed. Psalter Hymnal, (Gray), 1987

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
