The King of Love my Shepherd is Lyrics

1. The King of love my Shepherd is whose goodness faileth never I nothing lack if I am his and be is mine for ever.

2. Where streams of living waters flow, My ransomed soul he leadeth,

And where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth.

3. Preverse and foolish oft I strayed but yet in love he sought me and on his shoulder gentle 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 day. Thy goodness faileth never, good shepherd, may I sing thy praise, within thy house for ever.
