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.

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.

 +
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.
