Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in this wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice; Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd, I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice. Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all, And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: MEDITATION
