 1.  My Shepherd will supply my need:
        Jehovah is His Name;
     In pastures fresh He makes me feed,
        Beside the living stream.
     He brings my wandering spirit back
        When I forsake His ways,
     And leads me, for His mercy's sake,
        In paths of truth and grace.

 2.  When I walk through the shades of death
        His presence is my stay;
     One word of His supporting grace
        Drives all my fears away.
     His hand, in sight of all my foes,
        Doth still my table spread;
     My cup with blessings overflows,
        His oil anoints my head.

 3.  The sure provisions of my God
        Attend me all my days;
     O may Thy house be my abode,
        And all my work be praise.
     There would I find a settled rest,
        While others go and come;
     No more a stranger, nor a guest,
        But like a child at home.
