Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633e Hymnal: Common Praise #587 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 The God of love my shepherd is,
and he that doth me feed;
while he is mine and I am his,
what can I want or need?
2 He leads me to the tender grass,
where I both feed and rest;
then to the streams that gently pass:
in both I have the best.
3 Or if I stray, he doth convert,
and bring my mind in frame,
and all this not for my desert,
but for his holy name.
4 Yea, in death's shady black abode
well may I walk, not fear;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
to guide, thy staff to bear.
5 Surely thy sweet and wondrous love
shall measure all my days;
and, as it never shall remove,
so neither shall my praise. Scripture: Isaiah 2:16 Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY
