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 so heav'nly feedeth
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed
But yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me
Sing praise for love that knows no end
To Christ who died for sin
For He will all your wrongs forgive
The King of love my Shepherd is
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 spread'st a table in my sight
Thy Spirit grace bestoweth
And O what pleasures of delight
From Thy pure cup o'erfloweth
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever
