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 ransom'd 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 for ever.
