BESIDE THE STILL WATERS
Beside the still waters, there let me walk. Withfriends ofyesteryear let me talk. And live, once more, the days of yore. Along the brim of the unwashed shore.
Beside the still waters, there let mefeel The love ofmyfellowman is real Andfrom the confines of my heart, Let me this truth to all impart
Beside the still waters, there let me rest, Midst scenes my weary soul knows best.
Where waters clear rejlect the blue Of skies that share the rainbows hue.
Beside the still waters, there let me lie, When, at last, has come my time to die:
And this my hope shall be: In death as in life, He leadeth me.
