The God of love, my Shepherd is

lyricist: Henry Williams Baker

The God of love

my Shepherd is

Grace He doth give

me He doth feed;

O He is mine and I am His

What else I lack? What else I need?

He lays me down in pastures green

And leads me to waters of rest;

No greater satisfaction seen

Here I enjoy fellowship blest.

He brings me home

though oft I stray

Restores my soul

His will to take;

I yet may fall

He guides the way

On righteous path

for His name’s sake.

How marvelous

how could it be

To walk without evil to fear;

Your rod and staff

they comfort me:

My boast is in Your presence dear.

You’ve spread for me a table feast

To confound my adversaries;

My cup runs o’er; oil has not ceased;

My head anoint; O Lord

increase.

Your wondrous love

eternal

sweet

With me abides till all my days

And in Your house

with joy replete

I’ll ever dwell

with endless praise.
