The Living God My Shepherd Is

1.

The Living God my shepherd is,

I know no care or need.

You guide me where rich pastures grow,

Along the verdant mead,

Where ev'ry day, by pleasant way,

My hung'ring soul may feed.

2.

You lead me where cool waters flow

By rippling stream and rill,

Where I may taste the springs of life,

My thirsting spirit fill;

You near me bide and homeward guide

My vagrant heart and will.

3.

I nothing fear; for you, O Lord,

Are with me night and day,

Intent, with shepherd's staff and rod,

To guide me when I stray,

And in the fold you will uphold

My fainting heart always.

4.

And so through all the length of days,

Your mercy waits on me,

At last within my Father's house

Your glory I shall see;

You evermore will I adore

Through all eternity.
