THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD THEREFORE CAN I LACK NOTHING, PS,23,rd
The Lord himself, the mighty Lord,
Vouchsafes to be my guide,
The shepherd, by whose constant care
My wants are all supplied,
In tender grass he makes me feed,
And gently there repose;
Then leads me to cool shades, and where
Refreshing water flows,
Since God doth thus his wonderous love
Through all my life extend;
That life to him I will devote,
And in his temple spend.
