Psalm 23; G. Herbert, Tr. (142/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Psalm 23; G. Herbert, Tr. THE God of love my Shepherd is, And He that doth me feed: While He is mine and I am His, What can I want or need? 2 He leads me to the tender grass, Where I both feed and rest; Then to the streams that gently pass, In both I have the best. 3 Or if I stray, He doth convert, And bring my mind in frame: And all this not for my desert, But for His holy Name. 4 Yea, in death’s shady, black abode Well may I walk, not fear, For Thou art with me, and Thy rod To guide, Thy staff to bear. 5 Surely Thy sweet and wondrous love Shall measure all my days; And as it never shall remove, So neither shall my praise.
