The Lord, the Lord, the Lord Is My Shepherd

Hymnary Friends,

Please pardon this brief interruption, and please consider a gift today to support the work of Hymnary.org. Here's why.

Each month half a million people visit this website for free access to the most complete database of North American hymnody on the planet. But this project does not come without a cost, and we have limited sources of revenue. Twice a year we hold a fund drive, and these drives are critical to our future.

So if you benefit from Hymnary.org, would you consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Click the Donate button below to be taken to a secure giving site. Or you can make your tax-deductible contribution by sending a check to Hymnary.org at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

On behalf of the entire Hymnary.org team, our thanks.
Harry Plantinga

Tune: THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

Refrain:
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord, the Lord, the Lord is my shepherd,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.

1 You bring me rest in green, green pastures,
You lead me to the still, still waters,
You guide me along your own right way,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.

2 My fear is gone for you are with me,
Your rod and staff bring comfort sure;
Your goodness and mercy shall follow me,
The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.
