The Lord is my shepherd : therefore can I lack nothing.
He shall feed me in a green pasture : and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
He shall convert my soul : and shall bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake.
Yea, thou 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 comfort me.
Thou shalt prepare a table before me 'gainst them that trouble me : thou anointedst my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
For Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
(Psalm 23)
Sung at Canterbury Cathedral during our Royal School of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How.
I (David W Solomons) was one of the altos.
John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this performance.
