Piano Recording of 2 verses of the hymn:

1 Beside the still waters with Jesus
I walk when the morning is new,
His goodness and mercy sustain me,
His grace is as fresh as the dew;
The calm of His presence surrounds me,
I know I have nothing to fear:
I’m safe in the midst of temptation
When Jesus my Savior is near.

Refrain:
Beside the still waters He leads me,
Through pastures of verdure so fair,
With heavenly manna He feeds me,
What rapture with mine can compare?

2 Beside the still waters with Jesus
I walk in the glory of noon;
His light is the Daystar of gladness
That wakens my heart into tune;
I’m thrilled with His wonderful kindness,
His tender compassion and love,
Oh, when I am walking with Jesus,
I’m nearer the mansions above! [Refrain]

3 Beside the still waters with Jesus
I walk at the close of the day,
‘Tis sweet to remember at even
His presence has brightened my way;
Oh, blessed and holy commission,
Upheld by His staff and His rod,
Beside the still waters with Jesus,
I’m journeying homeward to God. [Refrain]
