The King of Love MyShepherd Is

The King of love my Shepherd is,Whose goodness faileth never;I nothing lack if I am hisAnd he is mine for ever.

Where streams of living water flowMy ransomed soul he leadeth,And where the verdant pastures growWith 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 illWith thee, dear Lord, beside me;Thy rod and staff my comfort still,Thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread'st a table in my sight;Thy unction, grace bestoweth:And O what transport ofdelightFrom thy pure chalicefloweth!

And so through all thelength of daysThy goodness failethnever;Good Shepherd, may I singthy praiseWithin thy house for ever.

Hail Redeemer,King Divine!

RecessionalHymn

Hail Redeemer, King divine!Priest and Lamb, the throne is thine;King, whose reign shall never cease,Prince of everlasting peace.

RefrainAngels, saints and nations sing:"Praise be Jesus Christ our King;Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,King of love on Calvary!"

King most holy, King of truth,Guard the lowly, guide the youth;Christ the King of glory bright,Be to us eternal light.

Shepherd-king, o'er mountains steepHomeward bring the wandering sheep;Shelter in one royal foldStates and kingdoms, new and old.

Crimson streams, O King of grace,Drenched thy thorn-crowned head and face;Floods of love's redeeming tideTore thy hands, thy feet, and side.

Eucharistic King, what loveDraws thee daily from above,Clad in signs of bread and wine :Feed us, lead us, keep us thine!

King, whose name creation thrills,Rule our hearts, our minds, our wills;Till in peace, each nation ringsWith thy praises, King of kings.

Sing with joy in ev'ry home :"Christ our King, thy kingdom come!To the King of ages, then,Honour, glory, love : Amen!".
