The King Of Love My Shepherd Is

Verse 1
The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness fails me 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 leads me;
And where the verdant pastures grow, with bread of heav'n He feeds me.

Verse 3
Confused and foolish, I have strayed, but yet in love he sought me;
And on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me.

Chorus
How can my heart turn away? Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you.
You are my song and my strength, Jesus, I love you.

Verse 4
In death's dark vale I fear no ill, With You, dear Lord, beside me;
Your rod and staff my comfort still, Your cross before to guide me.

Verse 5
You spread a table in my sight; though enemies surround me;
Anoint my head, oh my Delight, my cup is overflowing!

Verse 6
And so through all my earthly days, Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise, within your house forever.
