Author: H. W. Baker Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #189 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal 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 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 spread'st a table in my sight;
Thine unction grace bestoweth;
And O, what transport and 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.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINUS REGIT
