Lo! my Shepherd is divine,

How can I want when he is mine?
By the stream that wanders slow,
Thro' the mead where flow'rets grow,
He leadeth me, and there I rest,

In love and peace divinely blest.

Father, we adore thee, and worship thee,
O GOD most high;

Holy LORD! Mighty GOD!

We worship thee.

Glorify his name for evermore,

And tell of all his wondrous works:

Holy! mighty! glorious GOD!

We worship thy Name evermore.
