Text:	The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Author:	Rev. Sir H. W. Baker
Tune:	[The King of love my Shepherd is]
Composer:	Gounod

1 The King of love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever.
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
The King of Love my Shepherd is!

2 Thou spread'st a table in my sight,
Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And O the transport of delight
With which my cup o’erfloweth!
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever!
The King of Love my Shepherd is!
