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