LBW, #456, “The King of Love My Shepherd is”
Devotion
“The king of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his and he is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth and, where his verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth.” (v. 1-2)
Many psalms, including Psalm 23, have been transformed into hymns for congregational singing. There are six verses to this hymn, each one corresponding to the six verses of the psalm. So the hymn carries us through the assurance and hope of this beloved psalm from beginning to end.
Prayer
Gracious God, we are thankful that you are our shepherd so that we have nothing to fear -- now, or in all that the future might bring. Amen.
