The Lord My Pasture Will Prepare --The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics

1. 1. The Lord my pasture will prepare

   And feed me with a shepherd’s care.

   His presence will my want supply

   And guard me with a watchful eye.

   My noonday walks he will attend

   And all my silent midnight hours defend.

2. 2. When in the sultry glebe I faint,

   Or on the thirsty mountain pant,

   To fertile vales and dewy meads

   My weary, wand’ring steps he leads,

   Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,

   Amid the cooling verdant landscape flow.
