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 spreadst 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 forever.
