MHB 50 - The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not

MHB 50

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. My table Thou hast furnishèd
   In presence of my foes;
   My head Thou dost with oil annoint,
   And my cup overflows.

5. Goodness and mercy all my life
   Shall surely follow me,
   And in God's house for evermore
   My dwelling place shall be.
   William Whittingham, 1524-79;
   Francis Rous, 1579-1659;
   Revised by Westminster Assembly Divines, 1650.
