LSB 709 | The King of Love My Shepherd Is [Organ]

Hymn of the Day for the fourth Sunday in Easter (Year A). Musician: Andrew Hayes ----- Lyrics: 1) The King of Love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever. 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 spreadst a table in my sight; Thine unction grace bestoweth; And oh, 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 forever! ----- “The selection of hymns for any given service relates closely to the Holy Scriptures, the psalms, and the prayers appointed for the day. In all of this, Lutherans give careful attention to the Sundays and seasons of the Church Year, not only because of long-standing tradition, but because these patterns and practices are Christ-centered. The Church Year, especially from Advent through Eastertide and Pentecost, leads the faithful into and through the life of Christ. The Sundays after Pentecost are focused on the ongoing ministry of Christ within his church on earth, with eyes of faith fixed upon his coming in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection. These Sundays and seasons are truly one of the most precious treasures of our rich heritage as Christians.” (Wismar, Gregory. Lutheran Service Book Hymn Selection Guide.
