Hymns Based on PsalmsPsalm XXIII
Whose goodness faileth never:
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine forever.
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.
But yet in love he sought me
And on his shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me.
With thee, dear Lord, beside me,
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
Thy unction grace bestoweth,
And O! what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever.
