The Lord his people's shepherd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 563 hymnals Topics: Christ The shepherd of his people First Line: The Lord my pasture shall prepare Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye. 2 My noonday steps he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend; When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant. 3 To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wand'ring steps he leads; Where peaceful rivers soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskips flow. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still. 5 Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade, Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray. 6 Thy bounty shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden green and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around. Scripture: Psalm 23

Ah, Holy Jesus

Author: Robert Seymour Bridges; Johann H. Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Shepherd First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended, that we to judge you have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you; yes, I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave is guilty, yet the Son has suffered; for our atonement, we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.
