There’s a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood. Scripture: Mark 6:30-34 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 685 hymnals Topics: Rites of the Church Order of Christian Funerals: Funeral Liturgy for Adults Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
With gentle care he leads me,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With heav'nly food he feeds me.
3 Perverse and foolish I have 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 you, dear Lord, beside me;
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing;
And O what joy and true delight
From your pure chalice flowing!
6 And so through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within your house forever. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA
The King of Love My Shepherd Is
