The King of Love

Henry W. Baker

6 Verses Good Shepherd

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

!n 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; Thy unction grace bestoweth:And O what transport of delight From Thy pure chalice floweth!

Verse 6

And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever.
