sung by St Martin’s Voices

1 The King of love my shepherd is,

whose goodness faileth never;

I nothing lack if I am his

and he is mine for ever.

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 spread'st a table in my sight;

thy unction grace bestoweth;

and O 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 for ever.

Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877)
