I think this hymn sounds beautiful on harp, and it's really easy to play as well.

4 4  4   5    -4  4   3   4  4   -4  4
I am a sheep and the Lord is my shepherd

 5   5   5 -4 4   -4
Watching over my soul

4    4   4  5    -4    4  3 4  4  -4 4
My soul to keep, guarding over me ever

5    5    5 -4 4 -4 4
Watching wherever I go

Chorus:

 3    4   5   6     6   -5  5 -4  5 4
And when the wind blows he is my shelter

 3   4    5   6    6  -6 6   -5  5  4  -4
And when I'm lost and alone, he rescues me

 3   4    5  6 6    6   -5  5 -4 5 -4 4
And when the lion comes he is my victory

5  -4   4  -4    4  5 -4 4
Constantly watching over me

I personally think it sounds cool to double up the  4 blow at the end of the first and third lines (on 'shepherd' and 'ever') playing it as two quick blow notes rather than a single one. Cheers and enjoy!

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
