The Lords My Shepherd by T.B. of Norbury
The Lord’s My Shepherd.
The Lord’s my Shepherd! O how sweet
To be forever at His feet;
To have Him be my Guide and Friend,
And unto all my wants attend.
While at His side I know no fear,
Though Satan rage and foes be near;
I’ll stand unmoved, for who will dare
To snatch me from His tender care?
~
The Lord’s my Shepherd! with what care
He will my daily food prepare;
He will on heavenly Manna feed,
And me by living waters lead.
Shelter I find within His fold,
From summer’s heat and winter’s cold;
My every want in Him’s supplied,
Nay, ’twas for me He lived and died.
~
The Lord’s my Shepherd! He is nigh
When clouds of darkness veil the sky,
When tempests howl and thunders roll,
And doubts and fears oppress my soul;
Then He will bid my tremblings cease,
Dispel my doubts restore my peace,
And lead me on through paths of grace
Till I am safe in His embrace.
He’ll be my Shepherd, this I know,
When through the vale of death I go:
When neath affliction’s hand I bow,
And death’s cold sweat is on my brow
He will the sting of death remove,
And take me to His fold above;
Where in my Shepherd’s arms l’ll rest,
And be with Him forever blest.
