#645. The King of Love my Shepherd Is (St. Columba)
|
||||||||
|
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) Thou spreadst a table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And oh, what transport of delight from Thy pure chalice floweth!
6) And so through all the length of days, Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise within Thy house forever.
