“The Lord’s My Shepherd”
 By Francis Rous, 1579-1659

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
 He makes me down to lie In pastures green;
He leadeth me The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again
 And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness,
E’en for His own name’s sake.

Yea, tho’ I walk in death’s dark vale,
 Yet will I fear no ill; For Thou art with
me, and Thy rod And staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnished
 In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil
anoint, And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy, all my life,
 Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
