Text

  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.
  2. Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed,
    But yet in love he sought me;
    And on his shoulder gently laid,
    And home, rejoicing, brought me.
    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.
