lord is my shepherd

the lord is my shepherd; i shall not want.
he maketh me down to lie
in pastures green he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

refrain

his yoke is easy; his burden is light.
i’ve found it so; i’ve found it so.
he leadeth me by day and by night
where living waters flow.

my soul crieth out: “restore me again,
and give me the strength to take
the narrow path of righteousness,
e’en for his own name’s sake.”

refrain

yea, tho’ i should walk the valley of death,
yet why should i fear from ill?
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
