1. The Lord my pasture shall prepare,<br>
And feed me with a shepherd's care:<br>
His presence shall my wants supply,<br>
And guard me with a watchful eye:<br>
My noonday walks he shall attend,<br>
And all my midnight hours defend.
2. When in the sultry glebe I faint,<br>
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,<br>
To fertile vales, and dewy meads,<br>
My weary, wand'ring steps he leads:<br>
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,<br>
Amid the verdant landscape flow.
3. Though in the paths of death I tread<br>
With gloomy horrors overspread,<br>
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,<br>
For thou, O Lord, art with me still;<br>
Thy friendly rod shall give me aid,<br>
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
4. Though in a bare and rugged way,<br>
Through devious, lonely wilds I stray,<br>
Thy presence shall my pains beguile:<br>
The barren wilderness shall smile,<br>
With sudden greens and herbage crowned,<br>
And streams shall murmur all around.

Lyrics

1. The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care:
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye:
My noonday walks he shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.

2. When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales, and dewy meads,
My weary, wand'ring steps he leads:
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.

3. Though in the paths of death I tread
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly rod shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.

4. Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious, lonely wilds I stray,
Thy presence shall my pains beguile:
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden greens and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
