1st Verse:
The Lord is my Shepherd;
He is Lord and I am His guest.
Fresh and green are the pastures where He leads me to my rest.
Near peaceful waters He leads me
To cheer up my cheerless heart.
He guides me on the safe path,
He will always do his part.
Chorus:
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
No evil would I fear;
You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
Your crook and your staff,
They will lead me to the day.
2nd Verse:
You prepare a banquet in the sight of my foes,
You cool my head with oil, and my cup now overflows.
Surely goodness and kindness will be with me all the way.
The Lord’s house for my dwelling, I will thank Him ev’ry day.
Chorus:
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
No evil would I fear;
You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
Your crook and your staff,
They will lead me to the day.
3rd Verse:
Glory be to the Father; glory to His only Son.
Glory be to the Spirit; glory, glory ev’ry one.
Glory be to the Father; glory to His only Son.
Glory be to the Spirit; glory, glory ev’ry one.
Chorus:
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
No evil would I fear;
You are there to show the way
If I should ever walk in the valley of darkness,
Your crook and your staff,
They will lead me to the day.

I've been searching in youtube for years but I can't find this version. When I was a kid, my mom usually asked me to run errands. When it gets dark, I used to sing this on my way home to get rid of the fear I was feeling.
