The Lord Is My Shepherd

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 592 hymnals First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed; Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed. 2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er; With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head; O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above; I seek by the path which my ancestors trod, Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love; Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love.

The Lord Is Our Leader

Author: B. Beddome Appears in 134 hymnals First Line: Tho' faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way Lyrics: 1 Tho' faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way; The Lord is our Leader, His word is our stay; Tho' suff'ring and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? 2 He raiseth the fallen, He cheereth the faint; The weak and afflicted, He hears their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter? our help is in God! But how can we falter? our help is in God! 3 And to His green pastures our footsteps He leads: His flock in the desert how kindly He feeds! The lambs in His bosom He tenderly bears, And brings back the wand'rers all safe from the snares, And brings back the wand'rers all safe from the snares. 4 Tho' clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Tho' foes would confound us, our God is our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven our home! The Lord is our Leader, and heaven our home!

My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now! If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. 2 I love Thee because Thou has first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree. I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now! If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. 3 I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death, And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath; And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now! If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. 4 In mansions of glory and endless delight, I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright; I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now! If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now. Used With Tune: [My Jesus, I love Thee] Text Sources: London Hymn Book
