100. Anthem--"The Lord is my Shepherd"

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, my Shepherd,
I shall not want, I shall not want;
The Lord is my Shepherd, my Shepherd,
I shall not want, I shall not want,
I shall not want, I shall not want,
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down,
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside,
He leadeth me beside the still waters.

Chorus:
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want, I shall not want.
