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. 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. Thou spreadst a table in my sight; Thine unction grace bestoweth; And, oh, what transport of delight From thy pure chalice floweth! Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love he sought me And gently on his shoulder laid And home, rejoicing, brought me. And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never. Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise Within thy house forever.
