"The King of Love My Shepherd Is"
This is a beautiful old hymn, and I did not realize it was sung at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997. The tune I am familiar with is the second one beside the author's name.
The Lord Is My Shepherd, 23rd Psalm
The King of Love My Shepherd Is
The King of love my shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever.
Living Water
Where streams of living water flow, My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth.
Homecoming
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me.
Words: Henry W. Baker (1868)
Music: John B. Dykes (1868)
You can hear the hymn and read the last three verses at Cyber Hymnal.
