• Lyrics:
  The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want
  He makes me down to lie
  In pastures green; He leadeth me
  The quiet waters by.
  
  My soul He doth restore again
  And me to walk doth make
  Within the paths of righteousness,
  Even for His own name's sake.
  
  Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
  Yet will I fear no ill;
  Four Thou art with me, and Thy rod
  And staff me comfort still.
  
  My table Thou hast furnished
  In presence of my foes;
  My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
  And my cup overflows.
  
  Goodness and mercy all my life
  Shall surely follow me;
  And in God's house forevermore
  My dwelling place shall be.
