Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: Blessing (blessedness) Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his name. In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wandering spirit back, when I forsake his ways, and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay. One word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread. My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days. Oh, may thy house be mine abode, and all my work be praise. Here would I find a settled rest, while others go and come, no more a stranger, nor a guest, but like a child at home.
