A READING FROM PSALM 23 (FIRST READER ONLY)

O BELOVED, YOU ARE MY SHEPHERD./

I SHALL NOT WANT;/

YOU BRING ME TO GREEN PASTURES FOR REST/

AND LEAD ME BESIDE STILL WATERS/

RENEWING MY SPIRIT,/

YOU RESTORE MY SOUL./

YOU LEAD ME IN THE PATH OF GOODNESS/

TO FOLLOW LOVE'S WAY./

EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,/

I AM NOT AFRAID;/

FOR YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME./

YOU GUIDE ME AND GIVE ME COMFORT./
