ANTHEM
The Lord Is My Shepherd
Words: Psalm 23
Music: John Rutter (b. 1945)
John Ferrillo, oboe; Angelina Savoia, harp
The Lord is My Shepherd;
therefore can I lack nothing.
He shall feed me in a green pasture,
and lead me forth beside
the waters of comfort.
He shall convert my soul,
and bring me forth
in the paths of righteousness,
for his Name’s sake.
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 comfort me.
Thou shalt prepare a table before me
against them that trouble me;
thou hast anointed my head with oil,
and my cup shall be full.
But thy loving-kindness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the
Lord for ever.
