 1.  The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
     I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest;
     He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
     Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed;
     Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed.

 2.  Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
     Since Thou art my Guardian no evil I fear;
     Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay;
     No harm can befall with my Comforter near;
     No harm can befall with my Comforter near.

 3.  In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
     With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
     With perfume and oil thou annointest my head;
     Oh, what can I ask of Thy providence more?
     Oh, what can I ask of Thy providence more?

 4.  O surely Thy goodness and mercy, O God,
     Shall follow my steps all the days of my life;
     Shall follow my steps all the days of my life;
     And I will in Thy house forever more dwell;
     And I will in Thy house forever more dwell;
