The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Jos. Addison Appears in 563 hymnals Topics: Home and Personal Use 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; My noonday steps he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. Amen. Used With Tune: [The Lord my pasture shall prepare]

I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world's light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till travelling days are done. Amen. Used With Tune: [I heard the voice of Jesus say]

Life from the dead is in that word, And immortality! 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near, At times, to faith's foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Then, then I feel that He, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me, Though I perceive Him not. 6 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.

My God, my Father, while I stray

Amen. Used With Tune: [My God, my Father, while I stray]
