The Lord is My Shepherd Sing Along Track

Just for fun, here's a sing-along track for "The Lord is My Shepherd." The melody is included at the bottom of the screen so you can follow along.

This particular melody is my own, so it's not the traditional tune you may be used to. Sheet music for this version (both solo and SSATBB choir) can be downloaded free here: http://www.defordmusic.com/the-lord-i...

Please note that the sheet music is a half-step lower than the recording, so if you want to play the violin score with this you'll need to use the Personal Composer file to transpose it. (Or as one comment noted, a capo on your violin.)

You'll also find a recording there of the song with vocals.

The lyrics to this song have been rearranged and altered to fit the melody better. Here's how they appear in this version:

The Lord is my shepherd, no want shall I know
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow
And safe in green pastures He maketh me rest
Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed

Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear
No harm can befall with my comforter near

Thy mercy shall follow me all of my days
And in thine own house thou preparest my place
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er
Oh what shall I ask of thy providence more

(The first two lines of the last stanza are my own as well... could you tell?)

Enjoy!
