My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Words: Isaac Watts · Music: The Beauties of Harmony, 5th ed., 1828 · 1719

Verse 1
My Shepherd will supply my need:
Jehovah is his name;
in pastures fresh he makes me feed
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
when I forsake his ways,
and leads me, for his mercies' sake,
in paths of truth and grace.

Verse 2
When I walk through the shades of death,
thy presence is my stay;
one word of thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand in sight of all my foes
doth still my table spread:
my cup with blessings overflows;
thine oil anoints my head.

Verse 3
The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
oh, may thy house be my abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come;
no more a stranger, nor a guest,
but like a child at home.
