The King of Love My Shepherd Is
"The Lord is my Shepherd" - Ps 23:1
VERSE 1
The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine for ever.
VERSE 2
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
VERSE 3
Perserve and foolish oft I strayed;
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing brought me.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 5
Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight,
From Thy pure chalice floweth!
VERSE 6
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house for ever!
