53. The King of Love My Shepherd Is
“He restoreth my soul.” Psalm 23:3
Text: H.W. Baker, based on Psalm 23; Music: J.B. Dykes; Key of G major
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
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
with Thee, dear Lord, beside me
Thy rod and staff me comfort still
Thy law before to guide me
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd, I will sing Thy praise
within Thy house forever
