Lyrics (Psalm 23: 1-2, 2-3, 5-6):

Response: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.

stained glass bulletThe LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose. Response

stained glass bulletBeside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me in right paths
for his name's sake. Response

stained glass bulletYou spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows. Response

stained glass bulletOnly goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come. Response
