God our Shepherd

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #48 (1787) First Line: My shepherd is the living Lord Lyrics: 1 My shepherd is the living Lord; Now shall my wants be well supply'd; His providence and holy word Become my safety and my guide. 2 In pastures where salvation grows He makes me feed, he makes me rest, There living water gently flows, And all the food divinely blest. 3 My wandering feet his ways mistake; But he restores my soul to peace, And leads me, for his mercy's sake, In the fair paths of righteousness. 4 Though I walk through the gloomy vale, Where death and all its terrors are, My heart and hope shall never fail, For God, my shepherd's with me there. 5 Amidst the darkness and the deeps Thou art my comfort, thou my stay; Thy staff supports my feeble steps, Thy rod directs my doubtful way. 6 The sons of earth and sons of hell Gaze at thy goodness, and repine To see my table spread so well With living bread, and cheerful wine. [7 How I rejoice, when on my head Thy Spirit condescends to rest! 'Tis a divine anointing shed, Like oil of gladness at a feast. 8 Surely the mercies of the Lord Attend his houshold all their days; There will I dwell to hear his word, To seek his face, and sing his praise.] Topics: Death courage in it; God our shepherd; Restoring grace; Death courage in it; God our shepherd; Restoring grace Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English
