Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #64 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Psalm 23 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 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
within Thy house forever. Topics: God the Father Sustainer; Assurance; Comfort; God-Providence Languages: English Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA
