Hymn based on the Gospel:

"The King of Love My Shepherd Is"
by Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877

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,
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And, oh! the transport of delight
With which my cup o'erfloweth.

6. And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never.
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever!

Jn 10:11-18
#	Douay-Rheims	Vulgate
11	I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.	ego sum pastor bonus bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus
12	But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,	mercennarius et qui non est pastor cuius non sunt oves propriae videt lupum venientem et dimittit oves et fugit et lupus rapit et dispergit oves
13	And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.	mercennarius autem fugit quia mercennarius est et non pertinet ad eum de ovibus
14	I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.	ego sum pastor bonus et cognosco meas et cognoscunt me meae
15	As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.	sicut novit me Pater et ego agnosco Patrem et animam meam pono pro ovibus
16	And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.	et alias oves habeo quae non sunt ex hoc ovili et illas oportet me adducere et vocem meam audient et fiet unum ovile unus pastor
17	Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.	propterea me Pater diligit quia ego pono animam meam ut iterum sumam eam
18	No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.	nemo tollit eam a me sed ego pono eam a me ipso potestatem habeo ponendi eam et potestatem habeo iterum sumendi eam hoc mandatum accepi a Patre meo
