THE Lord himself, the mighty Lord

Vouchsafes to be

The shepherd, by whose constant care
My wants are all supply'd.

2 In tender grass he makes me feed,
And gently there repose;

Then leads me to cool shades; and were
Refreshing water flows.

3 He does my wand'ring soul reclaim;
And, to his endless praise,
Instruct with humble zeal to walk
In his most right'ous ways.

4 I pass the gloomy vale of death,
From fear and danger free;
For there his aiding rod and staff
Defend and comfort me.

5 In presence of my spiteful foes
He does my table spread:
He crowns my cup with cheerful wine,
With oil annoints my head.

6 Since God doth thus his wond'rous love
Through all my life extend,
That life to him I will devote,
And in his temple spend.
