"God, Our Shepherd"

A hymn written by Isaac Watts. (in short meter)

Psalms 23

"God, Our Shepherd"

1. The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied;
Since He is mine, and I am His,
What can I want beside?

2. He leads me to the place
Where heav'nly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.

3. If e'er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim;
And guides me in His own right way,
For His most holy name.

4. 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.

5. In sight of all my foes,
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.

6. The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my foll'wing days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
