The King of Love My Shepherd Is

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.
   
2. Where streams of living water flow
   My ransomed soul he leadeth,
   And where the verdant pastures grow
   With food celestial feedeth.
   
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 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 what transport of delight
   From thy pure chalice floweth!
   
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!
