The King of Love My Shepherd Is

By Rev. Henry W. Baker

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 celestial 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.

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

— Rev. Henry W. Baker.
