The Lord my ¤Shep¤herd ¤is,
My heart no ¤want can ¤know;
He gent¤ly leads me ¤by the hand,
Where ver¤dant pas¤tures ¤grow.
He knows my ¤eve¤ry ¤need,
And safe with ¤Him I ¤go,
In calm and qui¤et¤¤ness to rest,
Where liv¤ing wa¤ters ¤flow.

When wea¤ried ¤with the ¤strife,
My soul He ¤doth re¤¤store;
His lov¤ing¤kind¤ness ¤woos my heart,
To love Him more and ¤more.
The path of ¤right¤eous¤¤ness,
With Him I ¤glad¤ly ¤take.
Why should I stray? He ¤leads the way,
E’en for His own name’s ¤sake.

To walk the ¤vale of ¤death,
Is sweet, with ¤Je¤sus ¤near;
His rod and staff they ¤com¤fort me,
No e¤vil will I ¤fear.
My ta¤ble ¤He pre¤¤pares,
In pres¤ence ¤of the ¤foe;
When His a¤noint¤ing ¤I re¤ceive,
My cup doth o¤ver¤¤flow.

Good¤ness and ¤mer¤cy ¤shall,
Be with me ¤all my ¤days;
Pre¤served and kept by ¤Him I am,
From all the by¤path ¤ways.
His pres¤ence ¤with me ¤now,
Brings joy for¤¤ev¤er¤¤more,
And through a long e¤¤ter¤ni¤ty,
His ways I shall a¤¤dore.
