I Come with Joy
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: John 10:11-15 First Line: I come with joy a child of God Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God,
forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me,
in love laid down for me.
2 I come with Christians far and near
to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread,
in Christ's communion bread.
3 As Christ breaks bread, and bids us share,
each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends,
and strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ,
unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here,
alive among us here.
5 Together met, together bound
by all that God has done,
we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one,
the love that makes us one.

The Shepherd True
Author: F. W. Faber Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: John 10:14 First Line: I was wand'ring, sad and weary Refrain First Line: Wand'ring souls, O do come near me Lyrics: 1 I was wand’ring, sad and weary,
When the Saviour came unto me;
For the paths of sin were dreary,
And the world had ceased to woo me;
And I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way,—
Refrain:
Wand’ring souls, O do come near Me;
My sheep should never fear Me;
I am the Shepherd true,
I am the Shepherd true.
2 At first I would not hearken,
But put off till the morrow,
Till life began to darken,
And I grew sick with sorrow;
Then I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way,— [Refrain]
3 At last I stopped to listen—
His voice could ne’er deceive me—
I saw His kind eye glisten,
So anxious to relieve me;
Then I knew I heard Him say,
As He came along His way,— [Refrain]
4 I thought His love would weaken
As more and more He knew me,
But it burneth like a beacon,
And its light and heat go thro’ me;
And I ever hear Him say,
As He goes along His way,— [Refrain] Topics: Guide - Guidance; Shepherd Used With Tune: [I was wandering, sad and weary]

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn, b. 1934 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: John 10:10 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
And the gospel go unheard,
Help us witness to your purpose
With renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us

Give us all new fervor, draw us

For the work of ministry.

"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
Daily lift life heavenward,
Asking that the world around us
Share your children's liberty:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
All that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
To a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us
For the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
May we serve as you intend
And, amid the cares that claim us,
Hold in mind eternity:

O quam juvat
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: John 10:16 First Line: Happy are they, they that love God Lyrics: 1 Happy are they, they that love God,
whose hearts have Christ confest,
who by his cross have found their life,
and 'neath his yoke their rest.
2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,
when they together sing;
and strong the prayers that bow the ear
of heaven's eternal King.
3 Christ to their homes giveth his peace,
and makes their loves his own:
but ah, what tares the evil one
hath in his garden sown!
4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth,
did not its sorrows prove
the path whereby the sheep may find
the fold of Jesus' love.
5 Then shall they know, they that love him,
how all their pain is good;
and death itself cannot unbind
their happy brotherhood.

Door

Whose mercies never fail;

In Achor's gloomy vale.

The building strong and fair;
Within are pastures fresh and green,
And living streams are there.

For Jesus is the door;
Nor fear the serpent's wily arts,
Nor fear the lion's roar.

And Jews and Gentiles come,
All trav'ling thro' one beauteous gate
To one eternal home. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment

that earth can never give.

our Savior and our King;
to you our youth and strength
adoringly we bring:
so fill our hearts that all may view
your life in us and turn to you!

so God is my strength and stay.

to a calm that is mine to share;
secure and still in the Father's will
and kept by the Father's care.

with a prayer as I turn to sleep;
by day, by night, through the dark and light
my Shepherd will guard his sheep.

in all my ways to the end of days
the Lord will preserve his own. Topics: God the Father Providence and Care; God Strength; Adoration of God; God Redeemer; God Shepherd; God Strength; Nature; Inner Peace; Psalms Used With Tune: UPLIFTED EYES
