A READING FROM PSALM 23 (FIRST READER ONLY)

O MY 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./

I AM NOT AFRAID/

FOR YOU ARE EVER WITH ME/

YOU GIVE ME STRENGTH AND COMFORT./

GOODNESS AND MERCY WILL FOLLOW ME/

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE./

I SHALL DWELL IN YOUR HEART FOREVER./
