Over the way of thorns and rocks I may go,
But He is the one who taketh me through;
Through the thick darkness of doubt and woe,
But out from the clouds of darkness falls Heaven’s sweet dew.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
So lead me on by Thy Spirit, O God,
Take me into Thyself so dear;
Leave me not, though I pass under Thy rod,
Breathing the breath of fragrant air, leaving behind all fear.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
