Lyrics

Shadow of Deth

[Intro]

Auxilium meum a Domino!

[Psalm 23 attributed to David]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

He leadeth me beside the still waters

He restoreth my soul

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

For His name's sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for thou art with me

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me

In the presence of mine enemies

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

[Instrumental Outro]
