Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,

Amid the verdant landscape flow.

3Though in the paths of death I tread,

With gloomy horrors overspread,

My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,

For thou, O Lord, art with me still.

Thy friendly staff shall give me aid,

And guide me through the dreadful shade.

4Though, in a bare and rugged way,

Through devious, lonely wilds I stray,
