Verse 1

The Lord my Shepherd is,
I shall be well supplied:
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?

Verse 2

He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.

Verse 3

If e’er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim;
And guides me in His own right way,
For His most holy Name.

Verse 4

While He affords His aid
I cannot yield to fear;
Though I should walk through death’s dark shade,
My Shepherd’s with me there.

Verse 5

In spite of all my foes
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.

Verse 6

The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.

Isaac Watts, “The Lord My Shepherd Is”
