Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: Christian Worship #552 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow,
my Savior gently leads me,
and where the verdant pastures grow,
with food celestial feeds me.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
but yet in love he sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
with you, dear Lord, beside me,
your rod and staff my comfort still,
your cross before to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight,
a banquet here bestowing;
your oil of welcome, my delight;
my cup is overflowing!
6 And so through all the length of days
your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
within your house forever!
