1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
He leadeth me night and day,
In pastures of green, by waters so sweet,
He guide's me in wisdom’s way.

Chorus:
O, Shepherd, divine, sweet Shepherd of mine
Lead me in the right way;
To heaven above, where Thee, I can love,
Thro' one eternal day.

2 When to the dark valley of death I come,
No evil then will I fear;
Thy rod and Thy staff, will comfort me there,
And make my way bright and clear. [Chorus]

3 The table is spread, and my soul shall feast;
And never know want or care,
Anointed with oil, my head, it shall be,
My cup filled with pleasure there. [Chorus]

4 Forever to dwell in the house of God,
The shadows all past and gone,
With Jesus my king, His praises to sing,
While ages roll on, and on. [Chorus]
