Sing along with the hymn: The King of Love My Shepherd Is - LBW 456
Tune: St Columba
    The King of love my shepherd is
    whose goodness faileth never;
    I nothing lack if I am his
    And he is mine forever.
    Where streams of living water flow,
    My ransomed soul he leadeth
    And, where the verdant pastures grow,
    With food celestial feedeth.
    Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
    But yet in love he sought me,
    And on his shoulder gently laid,
    And home, rejoicing, brought me.
    In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
    With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
    Thy rod and staff my comfort still;
    Thy cross before to guide me.
    Thou spreadst a table in my sight;
    Thine unction grace bestoweth;
    And, oh, what transport of delight
    From thy pure chalice floweth!
    And so, through all the length of days,
    Thy goodness faileth never.
    Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
    Within thy house forever.
Listen to a Harp Interlude
"My Shepherd Will Supply My Need"
American Folk Hymn, from Southern Harmony
Played on the Witcher lever harp
    My Shepherd will supply my need;
    most holy is your name;
    in pastures fresh you make me feed,
    beside the living stream.
    You bring my wandering spirit back.
    when I forsake your ways;
    you lead me, for your mercy ' s sake,
    in paths of truth and grace.

Sing along with the hymn: The Lord's My Shepherd, LBW 451
Tune: Brother James' Air
    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.
    He leadeth me, he leadeth me The quiet waters by.
    My soul he doth restore again,
    And me to walk doth make
    Within the paths of righteousness, Even for his own name 's sake;
    Within the paths of righteousness, Even for his own name 's sake.
    Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
    Yet will I fear no ill;
    For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still;
    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 annoint, And my cup overflows.
    My head thou dost with oil annoint, 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.
    And in God's house forevermore My dwelling place shall be.
