Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Author: J. W. Meinhold Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Matching Instances: 18 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping;
Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild,
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of pain and care,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To Thy heavenly meadows fair
Lovingly thou dost receive it.
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.
3 O Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where may live where it is living,
And the blissful pastures see
That its heavenly food are giving;
Then the gain of death we prove,
Though Thou take what most we love. Topics: The Last Things Burial of Children; The Last Things Burial of Children; Resurrection Used With Tune: [Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled]

Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee,
Brighten thou this holy morning;
With thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest.
2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that thou dost love. A-men.
3 Hence all care, all vanity,
For the day to God is holy;
Come, thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught today my soul shall move,
Simply resting in thy love.
4 Let me with my heart today,
Holy, holy, holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship thee in heaven.

Heavenward still our pathway tends
Author: B. Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Heavenward still our pathway tends,
Here on earth we are but strangers;
Till our road in Canaan ends,
Safely passed this wild of dangers,
Pilgrims we, a scattered band,
Seek above our fatherland.
2 Heavenward still, my soul, ascend!
Thou art one of heaven's creations;
Earth can ne'er give aim or end
Fit to fill thy aspirations;
And a heaven-enlightened mind
Evermore its source to find.
3 Heavenward still! God's volume blest,
Thus, throughout its sacred pages,
calls on me, and speaks its rest,
Rest with Him through endless ages;
While my heart that call attends,
Still to heaven my path ascends.
4 Heavenward still my thoughts arise,
When His festal board invites me;
Then my spirit upward flied,
Foretaste then of heaven delight me:
When on earth this food hath ceased,
Comes the Lamb's own marriage-feast.
5 Heavenward still my spirit wends,
That fair land by faith exploring;
Heavenward still my heart ascends,
Sun and moon and stars out-soaring:
Their faint rays in vain would try
With the light of heaven to vie.
5 Heavenward still, when life shall close,
Death to my true home shall guide me:
Then, triumphant o'er my woes,
Lasting bliss shall God provide me;
Christ Himself the way has led;
Joyful in His steps I tread.
6 Still then heavenward! heavenward still!
That shall be my watchword ever!
Joys of heaven my heart shall fill,
Chasing joys that filled it never;
Heavenward still my thoughts shall run,
Till the gate of heaven is won. Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: [Heavenward still our pathway tends]

God of grace, whose word is sure
Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose word is sure,
Thou who keepest truth forever,
That my trust may rest secure
On this ground that wavers never:
Let Thy truth be dear to me,
That my soul may faithful be.
2 True this word will e'er remain:
He who Christ to own refuses,
Though he all the world should gain,
His immortal soul he loses;
For the Saviour will not own
Him before the Father's throne.
3 To the banner of the cross
I fidelity have plighted;
It will be my endless loss
If this solemn vow were slighted;
Therefore Jesus, none but He,
Shall my constant watchword be.
4 Let me, till my latest breath,
Christ confess with constant meekness;
Let me faithful be till death,
Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness:
Let me live in Him, and die
Heir of mansions in the sky. Topics: Confirmation; Fidelity; Resignation Used With Tune: I WILL NEVER JESUS LEAVE
