TWENTY-THIRD PSALM (Unison)

Benjamin Okeke, Uncle to Obi

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me

beside still waters; he restores my soul  He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.  Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no

evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

*HYMN No.  263    The Hymnal

Nearer My God to Thee”
