The Lord, my Portion shall prepare

Representative Text

1 The Lord my portion shall prepare,
No want I'll know;
He leads me on thro' pastures green
Where waters flow.
His presence all my wants supply,
My ways attend,
And from my foes,
Who oppose,
Will defend.

Chorus:
His yoke is easy and his burden could not lighter be;
I'll trust him ever,
He faileth never,
Nor shall I fear.
The valley of the shadow shall no terrors have for me;
His rod and staff shall be my stay, He will be near!

2 To fertile vales and mountains fair
Or dewy meads
My ofttimes wearied, falling steps He surely leads.
His mercies compass me about,
Thro' sorrow's vale;
His hand I see
Guiding me,
Nor can fail. [Chorus]

3 Tho' thro' the valley I may go,
I'll fear no ill;
My steadfast heart shall have no fear,
He's with me still!
His rod and staff shall give me aid
Thro' sorrow's night,
Till night is gone,
Shall lead on
To the light. [Chorus]
