Description

Mr. Greene's (1696-1755) anthem arranged for SAB choir and organ, is a setting of Psalm 23:1-2 and can also be done in two parts (SA). This wonderful little gem (originally for ATB) has been arranged to make it more accessible to smaller choirs while keeping all the charm of the original including the addition of a delightful new realization of the keyboard part.

Lyrics

The Lord is my shepherd, therefore can I want nothing.
He shall feed me in green pastures,
and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
