St. Columba (Songs Of Praise No.654) The King Of Love My Shepherd Is

St. Columba The King Of Love My Shepherd Is - Cardiff Festival Choir

The king of love my shepherd is

Whose goodness faileth never

I nothing lack if I am his

And she is mine for ever

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 I'll

With thee dear Lord beside me

Why rod and staff my comfort still

Why cross before to guide me

Thou spread'st a table in my sight

Thy unction grace bestoweth

And O what transport of delight

From thy pure chalice floweth

And so through all the length of days

Why goodness faileth never

Good shepherd may I sing thy praise

Within thy house for ever
