SONG: THE LORDβS MY SHEPHERD
Artist: Choir of Westminster Abbey
Words/Music: Psalm 23/attributed Jessie Irvine Seymour
Recording: Griffin 2012
The Lord's my shepherd; I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
SONG: LET ALL MORTAL FLESH KEEP SILENCE
Choir of Westminster Abbey, James
