Author: Isaac Watts; Thomas Sternhold Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Year A Lent 4 Lyrics: 1 My shepherd is the living God, I therefore nothing need; In pastures fair, near pleasant streams you settle me to feed. You bring my wandering 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; A 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; O may your house be my abode, and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others come and go - No more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CONSOLATION
