I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy pow'r hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone; and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

For thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 4 My table thou hast furnishèd in presence of my foes, my head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me.
