HE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me be side the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he lead eth me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they com fort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
PSALM 23.

###### 0 love that wilt not let me go,I rest my weary soul in Thee;I give Thee back the life I owe that in thine ocean depths it flow may riches,fuller be. 0 cross that 1iftest up my head I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay on dust lifes glory dead and from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be.
