My Shepherd Is the Lord (Long)

My shep­herd is the Lord

Who rules the earth and skies;

He leads me thro’ His pas­tures green

And all my wants sup­plies.

Beside the shad­ed brook

I lay me down and rest

And in Je­ho­vah’s watch­ful care

I am su­preme­ly blest.

No gloomy shade of death

Or val­ley dark I fear;

The Shep­herd’s rod and staff I see

And feel pro­tect­ion near.

To heed His lov­ing voice

I nev­er would re­fuse:

And where my liv­ing steps shall stray

I leave to Him to choose.

My heart shall be as calm

As any sum­mer’s day;

I follow where He kind­ly leads

And love His chos­en way.
