237. The Lord Is My Shepherd

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want;
By still waters He leadeth His sheep;
Tho' the enemy gather and foes may oppress,
Jesus watches while His little ones sleep.

Refrain:
We will walk thru the valley,
We will walk in peace;
We will walk thru the valley with Jesus alone;
On His rod and His staff the valley of death,
We will walk thru the valley in peace.

2 He maketh me to lie down in pastures green,
My cup with His blessings overflows;
He anointeth my head with oil from above,
For my Master has bountiful stores. [Refrain]

3 He prepareth a table in the midst of my foes,
But His goodness and mercy are there;
At the end of death's valley, in the house of the Lord,
There forever His goodness we'll share. [Refrain]
