Lyrics

1. 1. The Lord my pasture will prepare
   And feed me with a shepherd’s care.
   His presence will my want supply
   And guard me with a watchful eye.
   My noonday walks he will attend
   And all my silent midnight hours defend.
2. 2. When in the sultry glebe I faint,
   Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
   To fertile vales and dewy meads
   My weary, wand’ring steps he leads,
   Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
   Amid the cooling verdant landscape flow.
3. Text: Joseph Addison, 1672–1719
   Music: Dmitri Bortniansky, 1751–1825
