- 1The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,He leadeth me night and day,In pastures of green, by waters so sweet,He guide’s me in wisdom’s way.O Shepherd, divine, sweet Shepherd of mineLead me in the right way;To heaven above, where Thee, I can love,Thu one eternal day.
- 2When to the dark valley of death I come,No evil then will I fear;Thy rod and Thy staff, will comfort me there,And make my way bright and clear.O Shepherd, divine, sweet Shepherd of mineLead me in the right way;To heaven above, where Thee, I can love,Thu one eternal day.
- 3The table is spread, and my soul shall feast;And never know want or care,Anointed with oil, my head, it shall be,My cup filled with pleasure there.O Shepherd, divine, sweet Shepherd of mineLead me in the right way;To heaven above, where Thee, I can love,Thu one eternal day.
- 4Forever to dwell in the house of God,The shadows all past and gone,With Jesus my king, His praises to sing,While ages roll on, and on.O Shepherd, divine, sweet Shepherd of mineLead me in the right way;To heaven above, where Thee, I can love,Thu one eternal day.
