The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 570 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
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;
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Isaiah 43:2 Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;

Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly.

ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:15 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!

See that glowing firmament,

Jesus Christ whom you have sent! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1873, alt.
