He brings my wand'ring 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 his presence is my stay; one word of his supporting breath drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, his oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may his house be my abode, and all my work be praise. There will I find reviving rest, and freely go and come; no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION Text Sources: Scripture text
