for he has heard my cry for mercy.
People: The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.

be their shepherd and carry them forever.

The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Words: Henry W. Baker (1821-1877)
Music: Ancient Irish Melody arr. Dan Forrest (b. 1978)
Jenn Schmunk, soprano
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.
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd may I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever.
