Anglican Chant by Sir John Goss (27 December 1800 -- 10 May 1880) was an English organist, composer and teacher.
Born to a musical family, Goss was a boy chorister of the Chapel Royal, London, and later a pupil of Thomas Attwood, organist of St Paul's Cathedral. After a brief period as a chorus member in an opera company he was appointed organist of a chapel in south London, later moving to more prestigious organ posts at St Luke's, Chelsea and finally St Paul's Cathedral, where he struggled to improve musical standards.
As a composer, Goss wrote little for the orchestra, but was known for his vocal music, both religious and secular. Among his best-known compositions are his hymn tunes "Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven" and "See, Amid the Winter's Snow". The music critic of The Times described him as the last of the line of English composers who confined themselves almost entirely to ecclesiastical music.
From 1827 to 1874, Goss was a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, teaching harmony. He also taught at St Paul's. Among his pupils at the academy were Arthur Sullivan, Frederic Cowen and Frederick Bridge. His best-known pupil at St Paul's was John Stainer, who succeeded him as organist there.

Book of Common Prayer (1928)
Psalm 23 Dominus regit me.

1 THE Lord is my shepherd; * therefore
can I lack nothing.
2 He shall feed me in a green pasture, * and
lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
3 He shall convert my soul, * and bring me
forth in the paths of righteousness for his Name’s
sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; * for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me in
the presence of them that trouble me; * thou hast
anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be
full.
6 Surely thy loving-kindness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life; * and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
