Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Total Praise #434 (2011) Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed;
Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?
4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above:
I seek by the path which my ancestors trod,
Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love;
Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love. Topics: Burdens; Comfort; Fellowship with God; Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness; Guidance; Jesus Christ Shepherd and Lamb; Kingdom; Christian Pilgrimage; Providence; Security Scripture: Psalm 23:1 Languages: English Tune Title: POLAND
