The Same. Ps. 23. 1 THE Lord my shepherd is: 2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows. He doth my soul reclaim, WATTS. And guides me in his own right way, 4 Whilst he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear; Though I should walk through death's dark shade, My shepherd's with me there. 5 In sight of all my foes Thou dost my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, And joy exalts my head. 6 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise. 14 164. 11s M. *BYROM. The Same. Ps. 23. 1 THE Lord is our shepherd, our guardian, and guide; Whatever we want he will kindly provide; To sheep of his pasture his mercies abound; 2 The Lord is our shepherd-what, then, shall we fear? Shall dangers affrighten us while he is near? O, no-when he calls us, we'll walk through the the vale, The shadow of death, but our hearts shall not fail. 3 Afraid by ourselves to pursue the dark way, 4 The Lord is become our salvation and song; Be joyful through life, and resigned in our death. 165. 7s M. MERRICK. The Same. Ps. 23. 1 Lo, my Shepherd's hand divine! 2 When I faint with summer's heat, To the streams that, still and slow, 3 He my soul anew shall frame, 4 Thou my plenteous board hast spread ; 5 Constant, to my latest end, 166. 11s M. *MONTGOMERY. The Same. Ps. 23. 1 THE Lord is my shepherd-no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures-safe folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow; Restores me when wandering-redeems when oppressed. 2 Through valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear; 3 In midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er · With perfume and oil thou anointest my head;O what shall I ask of thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, GOD MANIFEST IN NATURE. 167.
