Page 66 - The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye ; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend.
Page 181 - For the Lord is a great God; and a great King above all gods. In his hand are all the corners of the earth ; and the strength of the hills is his also.
Page 150 - Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God : He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth forever stands secure ; He saves the oppressed, He feeds the poor, And none shall find His promise vain.
