The King of Love My Shepherd Is

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

2Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth.

3Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me.

4And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever.
