O Thou Great Shepherd of Thy Chosen Race
Author: James Langran Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou great Shepherd of Thy chosen race,
who leadest like a flock Thy Israel dear,
from out the cherubim reveal Thy face,
before our host now let Thy might appear.
Come Thou, O God, to save us and restore;
we shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer?
For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears,
and bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share;
the nations round us mock with scornful jeers.
O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore;
we shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land;
the nations were thrust out to give it room;
it took deep root, it spread on every hand,
the hills were covered with its shade and bloom;
its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide;
they reached the sea, its roots the riverside.
4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
that they may pluck who pass along the way?
Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all
and feed upon Thy vine by night and day.
O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore;
we shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine
which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand,
the branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine,
for it is burned with fire, no more to stand;
Thy people perish in Thy anger sore
because Thy face now shines on them no more.
6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain,
the son of man Thou madest strong to be;
so we shall faithful to Thy cause remain;
revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee.
Jehovah, God of Hosts, again restore;
we shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. Topics: Supplication Scripture: Psalm 80 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

I Sought the Lord, and Afterward I Knew
Author: anonymous Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10 Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found of thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm vexed sea;
'twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love; but, oh, the whole
of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me. Topics: Jesus Christ Saving Work; Love Christ's Love for Us; Elements of Worship Forgiviness and Grace Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

The Love of God
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The love of God is broad like beach and meadow Refrain First Line: The love of God is broad like beach and meadow Lyrics: 1 The love of God is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and our eternal home.
God leaves us free to seek him or reject him;
he gives us room to answer "yes" or "no."
Refrain:
The love of God is broad like beach and meadow,
wide as the wind, and an eternal home.
2 We long for freedom where our truest being
is given hope and courage to unfold.
We seek in freedom space and scope for dreaming,
and look for ground where trees and plants can grow. [Refrain]
3 But there are walls that keep us all divided;
we fence each other in with hate and war.
Fear is the bricks and mortar of our prison,
our pride of self the prison coat we wear. [Refrain]
4 O judge us, God, and in your judgment free us,
and set our feet in freedom's open space;
take us as far as your compassion wanders
among the children of the human race. [Refrain] Topics: Alienation; Awe; Children of God; Commitment; Compassion; Conflict; Eternal Life; Fear; Forgiveness; Freedom; God's Love; Home; Humility; Renewal; Repentance; Separation; Vision Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-22 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
