The Lord God is his name;

In pastures green he makes me feed,

Beside the living stream.

He brings my wand’ring 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,

Your presence is my stay;

One word of your supporting breath

Drives all my fears away.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes,

Does still my table spread;

My cup with blessings overflows,

Your oil anoints my head.

3.

The sure provisions of my God

Attend me all my days;

O may your 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.

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.

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.

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.

My Shepherd will supply my need,

In pastures fresh He makes me feed
Beside the living stream.

When I forsake His ways,
And leads, me for His mercy’s sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

But like a child at home.

My Shepherd
Will Supply My Need

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 way,
And leads me for His mercy's sake in paths of truth and grace.

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.

The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days;
Oh, 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.

By Isaac Watts

Psalm 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
