( PSALM 23.)

6666,88.

The Lord our Shepherd.

THE Lord my Shepherd is,

And He my soul will keep; He knoweth who are His, And watcheth o'er His sheep. Away with every anxious fear; I cannot want while He is near.

His wisdom doth provide The pasture where I feed: Where the still waters glide Along the quiet meád.

He leads my feet; and, when I roam, O'ertakes and brings the wanderer home.

4 Let me but feel Him near, Death's gloomy pass in view, I'll walk without a fear

He leads, Himself, the way His faithful flock should take. Them who His voice obey, His love will ne'er forsake; For He has pledged His holy name; He who for ever is the same.

CONDER.

The shadowy valley through: With rod and staff, my Shepherd's care Will guide my steps, and guard me there.

Still is my table spread; My foes stand silent by; I feed on living bread; My cruse is never dry: And surely love and mercy will Attend me on my journey still.
