The King of love my Shepherd is

by Henry Williams Baker (1821–1877)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 197.

Verse 1

The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth 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 leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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