Tune "Crimond" by Jessie Seymour Irvine (1836-1887)

Tune "Brother James's Air" by Brother James Leith Macbeth Bain (d. 1925)

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,
e'en for his own name's sake.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

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.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes,
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
any my cup overflows.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me.
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
