Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Jeremiah 3:15 First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep With constant care thy humble sheep; By the inferior pastors rise To feed our souls, and bless our eyes. 2 To all thy churches such impart, Modell'd by thy own gracious heart; Whose courage, watchfulness and love, Men may attest, and God approve. 3 Fed by their active tender care, Healthful may all thy sheep appear; And, by their fair example led, The way to Zion's pastures tread! 4 Here hast thou listen'd to our vows, And scatter'd blessings on thy house; Thy saints are succour'd and no more As sheep without a guide deplore. 5 Completely heal each former stroke And bless the shepherd and the flock; Confirm the hopes thy mercies raise, And own this tribute of our praise.

The Lord Jehovah reigns

Author: Watts Appears in 267 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Scripture: Jeremiah 3:4 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, His throne is build on high; The garments he assumes Are light and majesty; His glories shine with beams so bright, Nor mortal eye can bear the sight. 2 The thunders of his hand Keep the wide world in awe; His wrath and justice stand, To guard his holy law; And where his love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace. 3 Through all his perfect work, Surprising wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell, And breaks their cursed designs: Strong is his arm--and shall fulfill His great decrees, his sovereign will. 4 And can this mighty King Of glory condescend-- And will he write his name, My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; Join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Justice; God Reigns
