My Shepherd will supply my need

by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 104.

Verse 1

My Shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is His name. In pastures fresh He makes me feed Beside the living stream. He brings my wand’ring spirit back When I forsake His ways, And leads, me for His mercy’s sake, In paths of truth and grace.

Verse 2

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 foes Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thine oil anoints my head.

Verse 3

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 would I find a settled rest While others go and come; No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home.
