  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 spreadst a table in my sight;
    Thy unction grace bestoweth;
    And oh, 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. Amin.
