PSALM 23. (S. M.) The same.
[The Lord my shepherd is]
I
The Lord my shepherd is,I shall be well supply'd,
Since he is mine, and I am his,
What can I want beside?
II
He leads me to the placeWhere heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
III
If e'er I go astray,He doth my soul reclaim,
And guides me in his own right way,
For his most holy name.
IV
While he affords his aid,I cannot yield to fear;
Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade
My shepherd's with me there.
V
In spite of all my foes,Thou dost my table spread,
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
VI
The bounties of thy loveShall crown my following days;
Nor from thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak thy praise.
