| My noonday walks He shall attend | C |
| And all my midnight hours defend | C |

| When in the sultry glebe I faint | D |
| Or on the thirsty mountain pant | E |
| To fertile vales and dewy meads | F |
| My weary wandering steps He leads | F |
| Where peaceful rivers soft and slow | G |
| Amid the verdant landscape flow | G |
| - | |
| Though in a bare and rugged way | H |
| Through devious lonely wilds I stray | H |
| Thy bounty shall my pains beguile | I |
| The barren wilderness shall smile | I |
| With sudden greens and herbage crowned | J |
| And streams shall murmur all around | J |
| - | |
| Though in the paths of death I tread | K |
| With gloomy horrors overspread | K |
| My steadfast heart shall fear no ill | L |
| For Thou O Lord art with me still | L |
| Thy friendly crook shall give me aid | K |
| And guide me through the dreadful shade | K |
