Verse 1
The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His, And He is mine forever.
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
Perverse 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 oh, 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 forever.
