On my left, and on my right, now,

I see the darkness growing, and it looms like a shadow.

But I will trust in Jesus, my God;

yes, I will trust in Jesus Christ, my Lord and my salvation.

Yes! My King, and my Friend!

The Lord is my shepherd;

because of Him, I shall not fear.

He leads me from faith to faith;

For His Name, He stays with me.

Though I stray, and though I fall,

His rod and His staff will comfort me.
