The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Author: Rev. Sir H. W. Baker Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #103 (1889) 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. 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!

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #14 (1980) Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine for ever. 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 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house for ever. Amen. Topics: Christ Shepherd; Christ Shepherd Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: [The King of love my Shepherd is]

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Author: Rev. Sir H. W. Baker Hymnal: Joyful Songs #84 (1875) 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 ransom'd soul He leadeth; And where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish, oft I stray'd 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 spread'st a table in my sight, Thy unction grace bestoweth, And O, the transport of delight, With which my cup o'erfloweth. 6 And so through all the length of days, Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd may I sing Thy praise, Within thy house forever.

J. Hallett Sheppard

1835 - 1879 Person Name: J. H. Shepherd Composer of "[The King of love my Shepherd is]" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892

Anonymous

Person Name: Unknown Author of "The King of love my Shepherd is" in Songs for the Lord's House In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "DOMINUS REGIT ME" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
