'My Shepherd will supply my need' (hymn) written by Isaac Watts

My Shepherd will supply my need,

Jehovah is His Name;

In pastures fresh He makes me feed

Beside the living stream.

He brings my wandering spirit back

When I forsake His ways;

And leads me for His mercy's sake

In paths of truth and grace.


When I walk through the shades of death,

Thy presence is my stay;

A word of Thy supporting breath

Drives all my fears away.

Thy hand in sight of all my table spread;

My cup with blessings overflows,

Thine oil anoints my head.


The sure provisions of my God

Attend me all my days:

O may Thy house be mine abode,

And all my work be praise!

There I would find a settled rest,

While others go and come;

No more a stranger or a guest,

But like a child at home.
