SOWER • Hymns & Music

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; Thine 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.
