Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Voices Together #640 (2020) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need;
most holy is your name.
In pastures fresh 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.
Oh, 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. Topics: Confessing Faith; God Images and Names of; Nurturing Faith; Peace Inner; Praying; Psalms Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: RESIGNATION
