MY SHEPHERD.

By Bertha H. Burnham

BY BERTHA H. BURNHAM.
THERE'S a simple line of the Psalmist's, And it rings in my mind to-day; I whisper it over and over,— "The Lord is my Shepherd," I say.
The Lord is my Shepherd? Yes, surely, For I am the "sheep of his hand;" He leadeth beside the still waters, Giveth rest in his pasture land;
His table prepareth before me, And my cup with blessing is filled; Mine head he anointeth with oil; The storm of disaster is stilled.
He restoreth my soul when fainting; In pleasantest paths I am led; He calmeth my fears and my cryings; With finest of wheat I am fed.
Though I walk through the valley's shadow, Even there he is with me still; His rod and his staff are my comfort, And how can I fear aught of ill.
The Lord is my Shepherd; yes, surely, The Lord is my Shepherd and guide; He keeps me in green, pleasant pastures; He leads me still waters beside.
Lynn, Mass.
