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
