The Lord's my Shepherd

Hey there everyone,
I'm looking for a hymn my friend told me once that is based on Psalm 23 (if I am correct), The Lord's My Shepherd. I know there are many versions of this song, and I am looking for one that goes like this:

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still, still waters
His goodness will lead me home.

It's a beautiful hymn with a lovely tune and descant. Sheet music for this would be appreciated, but not required

I'm not looking for the version with "leadeth". I'm pretty sure that was a part of it. I think the exact version I am looking for is in the BBC Songs of Praise, but I can't get hold of a copy of that.

Much Appreciated.

Hi Guest,

Here are words I was able to find, by Stuart Townend:

The Lord's my shpeherd, I'll not want.
He makes me lie in pastures green.
He leads me by the still, still waters,
His goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in You alone.
And I will trust in You alone,
For Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.

(Descant)
I will trust, I will trust in You.
I will trust, I will trust in You.
Endless mercy follows me,
Goodness will lead me home.

He guides my ways in righteousness,
And He anoints my head with oil,
And my cup, it overflows with joy,
I feast on His pure delights.

And though I walk the darkest path,
I will not fear the evil one,
For You are with me, and Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know.

If you're in Europe, you can order a copy of the sheet music here:
