The Lord Is My Shepherd (Elliott)

The Lord is my shep­herd

I shall not want

He lead­eth me night and day

In pas­tures of green

by wa­ters so sweet

He guides me in wis­dom’s way.

O Shep­herd di­vine

sweet Shep­herd of mine

Lead me in the right way;

To Heav­en above

where Thee I can love

Through one eter­nal day.

When to the dark val­ley of death I come

No ev­il then will I fear;

Thy rod and Thy staff will co­mfort me there

And make my way bright and clear.

The ta­ble is spread

and my soul shall feast

And nev­er know want or care

Anointed with oil

my head it shall be

My cup filled with plea­sure there.

Forever to dwell in the house of God

The sha­dows all past and gone

To Je­sus my king

my prais­es I’ll sing

While ag­es roll on

and on.
