The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Psalms 23:1. He says it himself. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hands. John 10:10-28.
The Lord being my shepherd also, what then can I want? Nothing that is really good for me. The sense of it may sometimes be wanting; but even this want is the beginning of a greater fullness, and certainly works for my good. It stirreth me up to pray more earnestly; and thus my wants drive me to the green pastures, and to the brooks of fresh water, even to my good shepherd, who is. himself the best food and the spring of living water.
My shepherd is the living Lord:
Now shall my wants be well supplied:
His providence and holy word
Become my safety and my guide.
In pastures where salvation grows,
He makes me feed, he makes me rest;
There living water gently flows,
And all the food divinely blest.
My wandering feet his ways mistake,
But he restores my soul to peace,
And leads me for his mercy’s sake
In the fair paths of righteousness..
Though I walk through the gloomy vale,
Where death and all his terrors are,
My heart and hope shall never fail.
For God my shepherd’s with me there.
