The risen Christ my Shepherd is.
He graciously my soul doth feed.
My Christ is mine, and I am His.
How can I lack or e'er have need?
He graciously my soul doth feed.
My Christ is mine, and I am His.
How can I lack or e'er have need?

In pastures green He makes me lie.
My soul He satisfies always,
The restful water leads me by,
In fellowship and perfect peace.
My soul He satisfies always,
The restful water leads me by,
In fellowship and perfect peace.

I often stray; He seeketh me
To yield my heart to His control.
For His name's sake He leadeth me
And shepherds my oft-shaken soul.
To yield my heart to His control.
For His name's sake He leadeth me
And shepherds my oft-shaken soul.

Incredible the thought beside—
Pursuing Thee all care is stilled.
Thy rod and staff support and guide;
My way is with Thy presence filled.
Pursuing Thee all care is stilled.

Emboldened in Thy victory,
I feast surrounded by my foes,
My head anointed bountifully,
My cup with blessings overflows.
I feast surrounded by my foes,
My head anointed bountifully,
My cup with blessings overflows.

Thy love the measure of my days,
Thy grace a boundless treasure store;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forevermore.
Thy grace a boundless treasure store;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forevermore.

What a wonderful hymn.
After reading this a few times I realized that each stanza correspond to each verse in the psalm.
May we sing praise to our Good Shepherd for the length of our days.

This hymn is so precious! I enjoy so much singing it with the saints when we come together to feast with Him at His Table! What a wonderful Shepherd and Overseer of our souls we have, caring for all our needs, bringing us back to Him when we like sheep stray, and causing us to shepherd and feed others as He so personally shepherds our inner person. Praise Him!
