Hymns
For Your Service |
|
|
| |
This
hymn is about celebration and praise, making it suitable as the
first hymn sung at the beginning of the service, which is in
praise of God in whose presence everyone has assembled. It is
also suitable as the third hymn that is sung after the signing
of the register, which usually speaks of the desire that God
goes with you into the future to help you live out your vows.
It is also suitable to sing during Communion, if you decide to
include it during the ceremony, and also at Easter weddings.

The
king of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine for ever.
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.
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.
Thou
spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
And
so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house for ever.
