Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #77 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The God of love my shepherd is,
And he that doth me feed;
While he is mine and I am his,
What can I want or need?
2 He leads me to the tender grass,
Where I both feed and rest;
Then to the streams that gently pass:
In both I have the best.
3 Or if I stray, he doth convert,
And bring my mind in frame,
And all this not for my desert,
But for his holy name.
4 Yea, in death's shady black abode
Well may I walk, not fear;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
To guide, thy staff to bear.
5 Surely thy sweet and wondrous love
Shall measure all my days;
And as it never shall remove
So neither shall my praise. Topics: The Christian Year Refreshment Sunday Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY
