My Shepherd’s mighty aid,

His dear redeeming love,

His all-protecting power displayed,

I joy to prove.

Led onward by my Guide,

I tread the beauteous scene,

Where tranquil waters gently glide

Through pastures green.

2 In error’s maze my soul

Shall wander now no more;

His Spirit shall, with sweet control,

The lost restore.

My willing steps he’ll lead

In paths of righteousness;

His power defend, his bounty feed,

His mercy bless.

3 Affliction’s deepest gloom

Shall but his love display;

He will the vale of death illume

With living ray.

I lean upon his rod,

And thankfully adore;

My heart shall vindicate my God

For evermore.

4 His goodness ever nigh,

His mercy ever free,

Shall while I live, shall when I die

Still follow me.

For ever shall my soul

His boundless blessings prove,

And, while eternal ages roll,

Adore and love.
