The Psalter ‎#54

54. Jesus Our Shepherd

1 My faithful Shepherd is the Lord,
Supplying all my needs;
In pastures green He makes me rest,
By quiet waters leads.

2 He tenderly restores my soul
When I am in distress,
And for His Name's sake guides my feet
In paths of righteousness.

3 Thro' death's dark valley though I walk,
No evil will I fear;
Thy rod and staff will comfort me,
For Thou art ever near.

4 A table Thou dost spread for me
In presence of my foes;
Thou hast anointed me with oil,
My cup of joy o'erflows.

5 Thro' life Thy goodness and Thy grace
Shall daily follow me;
And I, within Thy house, O Lord,
Shall ever dwell with Thee.
