My Vigilant Shepherd

By O. P. Wilson

O. P. WILSON
THE Lord is my vigilant shepherd, He giveth me water and rest, And leadeth me down to the pastures Where I am continually blest, Restoreth my feet in the morning For paths to be trod the long day; I know he’s the kindliest leader, He guideth me back when I stray.
Through valleys and mountains I follow, Where Evil, with feet newly shod, Doth cause me to fear and to tremble, But there is the staff and the rod; Then back to his table of bounties, Which, down from bright heaven above, Are given to me as a token Of what I can do in his love.
The Lord is my guide and my leader; He calleth me day after day; His goodness and mercy will follow, And keep me from life’s evil way. Whenever I hunger, he leadeth In pastures where waters flow free; Forever I’ll dwell with my Saviour, He’s the kindest of shepherds to me.
