Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #262 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.
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. Topics: Assurance; Blessing; Comfort; Faith; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Jesus Christ's Humanity; Living Water; Renewal; Trust Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA
