"The Lord My Shepherd Is" by Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 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 heav'nly 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. Amid surrounding foes Thou dost my table spread; My cup with blessing overflows, And joy exults 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. _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #426 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Psalm 23 Author: Isaac Watts, 1719 Composer: John S.
