What a wonderful hymn.
After reading this a few times I realized that each stanza correspond to each verse in the psalm.
May we sing praise to our Good Shepherd for the length of our days.

“Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forevermore.”
Stanwood, WA, United States
This hymn is so precious! I enjoy so much singing it with the saints when we come together to feast with Him at His Table! What a wonderful Shepherd and Overseer of our souls we have, caring for all our needs, bringing us back to Him when we like sheep stray, and causing us to shepherd and feed others as He so personally shepherds our inner person. Praise Him!
