346 The Lord my shepherd is;
1 The Lord my shepherd is;
I shall be well supplied:
Since He is mine and I am His,
What can I want beside?
2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows;
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
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.
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.
5 In spite of all my foes,
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
6 The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from Thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak Thy praise.
