The Lord’s My Shepherd (Crimond)
English source:
Traditional
The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for his own name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill,
for thou art with me and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forever more
My dwelling place shall be.
Text - _Scottish Psalter_ (1650)
- William Whittingham & anon., based on Psalm 23

and staff me comfort still.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forever more
My dwelling place shall be.
