Can anyone remember the lyrics? My Lord, Lord (oh my Lord) be my shepherd

I have a crumpled handwritten version of the specific version sought on this post (the 20 July 2009 version above) with a name, presumably the author.

Author: David Palmer, Croydon

Although this copy says "by the cooling stream" which makes more sense.

I have now done an updated version, copied from sheet music I was supplied by a lady called Elisabeth.

It's slightly different and definitely better than my original (written from memory).

I have added everything to a "Lord Is My Shepherd" page:

Any comments, just email me!

Hi There,
We sang this at my primary school and i know for sure that David Palmer is the author because we were a Croydon primary school and he came from Croydon.

Hi

I have found & emailed David Palmer, and he confirms he is the author.

It is part of his Christmas oratorio, "Holy Boy".

I have bought a copy of the whole oratorio from him, on CD and sheet music, which I've now had for a couple of weeks and thoroughly recommend to anyone.

His website is www.david-palmer.co.uk/

I have also urged him to publish the lyrics on his site so that Google searches will find him directly, but hopefully this thread will ensure people will find him if they are persistent. I'll also leave my Lord Is My Shepherd page up ( www.denmiller.com/lims ) unless he says otherwise.

Case closed, finally!!

Cheers
Den

I am in my element for finding the words and sheet music after so long. I also sang it in primary school choir.
Thank you for persevering
Regards
Nadia

Guys, thank you so so so much! Like everyone here, David Palmer's rendition of The Lord is My Shepherd is one of my favourite hymns and I've struggled in vain to find the music to it online - even lyrics are hard!

I did actually have one prized copy of the music score from my days in the choir but this was in a bag that was stolen, along with my entire collection of beautiful music scores. This was one of the hymns I've been unable to get back. Den Miller, you are amazing!!! I will be playing this song in church and singing with the choir this coming Sunday and thanking you all the way!
