Author: Rev. Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Hymnal #99 (1950) 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 spreadest 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.
Amen. Topics: God the Father His Abiding Presence; Assurance; Christ Friend, The; Christ Love of; Christ Leader, Our; Christ Shepherd; God Presence, His Abiding; God Shepherd, The; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Psalm 23 Tune Title: DOMINUS REGIT ME
