The Lord My Shepherd Guards Me Well

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #73 (2003) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd guards me well, and all my wants are fed: amid green pastures made to lie, beside still waters led. My careworn soul grows strong and whole when God's true path I tread. 2 Though I should walk in darkest ways through valleys like the grave, no evil shall I ever fear; your presence makes me brave. On my behalf your rod and staff assure me you will save. 3 For me a table has been spread where all my foes can see; you bathe my head with fragrant oil to soothe and honor me. My heart and cup are both filled up with joyful ecstasy. 4 Your steadfast love will follow me to shield me all my days and bring me to your holy house, redeemed from error's ways, my whole life long to join the song of those who sing God's praise.
