Jake Runestad
The King of Love SATB choir & piano
Music JakeRunestad.com
Text The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness fails me never, I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever. Where streams of living water flow with gentle care He leads me, And where the verdant pastures grow, With heavn’ly food He feeds me. In death’s dark vale I fear no ill With you, dear Lord, beside me; Your rod and staff my comfort still, Your cross before to guide me. And so through all the length of days Thy goodness fails me never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Your praise Within Your house forever.
Performance Information The congregation may join in the four part canon at measure 63. They can be split into four groups and sing their part when directed.
Performance Time: ca. 3:45 Commissioning Consortium The King of Love was arranged by Jake Runestad as part of the American Composers Forum’s Faith Partners Residency Program. This ecumenical program, designed by the American Composers Forum (ACF) and funded by the Otto Bremer Foundation, enables religious institutions to select a composer to create original musical works appropriate for use in the worship services of participating congregations. Consortium members are Faith Lutheran Church (ELCA) and The Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary, in Morris, MN. The King of Love was arranged in collaboration with Faith Lutheran Church, John Kleinwolterink, conductor.
