Metrical Version of Psalm XXIII.

By John Kellogg

1 The Lord my shepherd is;   He will my wants supply.
2 And down in pastures green,   He maketh me to lie.  He leadeth me along   Where waters gently flow;
3 My soul he doth restore,   When wandering I go;  In paths of righteousness   He leads for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though through death’s dark vale   My journey I shall take,  No evil will I fear;   For thou with me dost dwell.  Thy mighty rod and staff   My sorrows will dispel.
5 In presence of my foes   A table thou dost spread;  My cup doth overrun;   Thou dost anoint my head.
6 Great good shall follow me   Until my days are o’er;  And in the house of God   I’ll dwell forevermore.
John Kellogg.
