My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

I have always loved this song, and today I needed it especially—and this afternoon, my Mormon Tabernacle Choir playlist kindly played it for me. So I thought I would put it up in case anyone else needed it today, too. :-)

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 wandering spirit back
When I forsake His ways,
And leads me, for His mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

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.

3. The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my abode,
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come;
No more a stranger, nor a guest,
But like a child at home.

Beautiful, isn't it?

(P.S. Josh really really loves me! :-) I know it is way too early for Christmas music, but I've been wanting to listen to some—just for a minute!—all week, because it has finally dropped to 60 degrees in Southern California, and I can feel the fall/Thanksgiving/winter/Christmas season coming on! And Josh just turned on our "calm Christmas music" playlist—even though he is usually in favor of more judicious Christmas listening. And when I looked at him in surprise, he just grinned a little-boy grin at me, and left the playlist running.)

(I am definitely going to keep him.) ;-)
