The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Words: Henry W. Baker, Music: Irish Melody
Arrangement: Keith Getty

Verse 1
The King of love my shepherd is
whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am His
and He is mine forever

Verse 2
Where streams of living water flow
my ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
with food celestial feedeth

Verse 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

Verse 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

Verse 5
Thou spread'st a table in my sight
Thine unction grace bestoweth
And oh! what transport of delight
from Thy pure chalice floweth

Verse 6
And so throughout the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
within Thy house forever
