He brings my wandering spirit back, when I forsake his ways; and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death your presence is my stay; one word of your supporting breath drives all my fears away. Your hand, in sight of all my foes, shall still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come; no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

Before Jehovah’s awful throne

Author: I. Watts (1674-1748); J. Wesley (1703-1791) Appears in 986 hymnals Topics: Easter 2 The Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, you nations, bow with sacred joy; know that the Lord is God alone — he can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, formed us and fashioned us of old; and when like wandering sheep we strayed, he brought us back into his fold. 3 We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs, high as the heavens our voices raise; and earth with her ten thousand tongue shall fill your courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is your command, vast as eternity your love; firm as a rock your truth must stand, when rolling years shall cease to move. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: OLD 100th Text Sources: Jubilate Deo
