My shepherd will supply my need

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Ps 23; John 10:11,14

1

My shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is his name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
Beside the living stream.

2

He brings my wand'ring spirit back
When I forsake his ways;
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

3

When I walk through the shades of death,
Thy presence is my stay;
A word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.

4

Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread,
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.

5

The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days:
O may thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise!

6

There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come;
No more a stranger or a guest,
But like a child at home.
