Lyrics
The king of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never,
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine for ever.
Where streams of living water flow,
With gentle care he leads me,
And when the verdant pastures grow
With heav'nly food he feeds me.
Perverse and foolish I have strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
with you dear Lord, beside me
Your rod and staff my comfort still
Your cross before to guide me.
You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing,
And O what joy true delight
From your pure chalice flowing.
And so through all the length of days,
Your goodness fails me never,
Good shepherd may I sing your praise
Within your house forever.
