Text<\/h4>\n

The King of Love my shepherd is,
\nWhose goodness faileth never;
\nI nothing lack if I am his
\nAnd he is mine forever.<\/p>\n

Where streams of living water flow,
\nMy ransomed soul he leadeth
\nAnd, where the verdant pastures grow,
\nWith food celestial feedeth.<\/p>\n

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
\nBut yet in love he sought me
\nAnd on his shoulder gently laid
\nAnd home rejoicing brought me.<\/p>\n

In death\u2019s dark vale I fear no ill
\nWith thee, dear Lord, beside me,
\nThy rod and staff my comfort still,
\nThy cross before to guide me.<\/p>\n

Thou spreadst a table in my sight;
\nThine unction grace bestoweth;
\nAnd, oh, what transport of delight
\nFrom thy pure chalice floweth!<\/p>\n

And so through all the length of days
\nThy goodness faileth never.
\nGood Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
\nWithin thy house forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2539,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[65,62,42,66],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2538","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-david-evan-thomas","product_cat-high-voice","product_cat-individual-songs","product_cat-medium-voice","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2538"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2538"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
