Author: Rev. Sir H. W. Baker Hymnal: Joyful Songs #84 (1875) Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack, if I am His,
And He is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransom'd soul He leadeth;
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish, oft I stray'd
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 thee, dear Lord beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight,
Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And O, the transport of delight,
With which my cup o'erfloweth.
6 And so through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd may I sing Thy praise,
Within thy house forever. Languages: English Tune Title: [The King of love my Shepherd is]
