The Lord Is My Shepherd

Author: Hannah J. Lewis, 1816-1885 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: I shall not want. Upon Thy arm relying Lyrics: 1 I shall not want. Upon Thy arm relying, Hunger, and thirst, and pain will flee away, And that dark valley where the dead are lying, Smile like a garden where no flowers decay. 2 The wintry wind in vain shall wave its pinion O’er my defenseless head if Thou art nigh! Ocean’s rough billows, ’neath Thy strong dominion, Still as a child in cradle-sleep shall lie. 3 Soft clouds will temper rays too fiercely burning, If Thou my weary feet will guide, sustain; And through the toil, and tears, and restless yearning, Thy mighty love will soothe the sharpest pain. 4 I hear Thee in the bird that greets the morning; I see Thee in the meadow’s fragrant bloom; In gorgeous clouds the sunset hours adorning— Nor less within the portals of the tomb. 5 Through flickering leaves the moonbeams gently falling, The zephyr dying o’er a waveless sea, The night-bird to his brother softly calling, All lead my spirit upward unto Thee! 6 And when from life, and light, and beauty, flinging Its rainbow hues around where’er I tread, I must go forth, no deathless want upspringing Shall fetter wings too long in vain outspread.
