Jesus is our Shepherd

Author: Hugh Stowell, 1799-1865 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Shepherd, the Good Lyrics: 1 Jesus is our Shepherd, Wiping every tear; Folded in His bosom, What have we to fear? Only let us follow Whither He doth lead, To the thirsty desert Or the dewy mead. 2 Jesus is our Shepherd: Well we know His voice; How its gentlest whisper Makes our heart rejoice! Even when He chideth, Tender is its tone; None but He shall guide us; We are His alone. 3 Jesus is our Shepherd: For the sheep He bled; Every lamb is sprinkled With the blood He shed; Then on each He setteth His own secret sign: "They that have My Spirit, These," saith He, "are Mine." 4 Jesus is our Shepherd: Guarded by His arm, Though the wolves may raven, None can do us harm: When we tread death's valley, Dark with fearful gloom, We will fear no evil, Victors o'er the tomb.

Lift high your songs before his throne to whom alone all praise belongs. 2 Our God of matchless worth, our King beyond compare, the deepest bounds of earth, the hills, are in his care. He all decrees, who by his hand prepared the land and formed the seas. 3 In worship bow the knee, our glorious God confess; the great Creator, he, the Lord our Righteousness. He reigns unseen: his flock he feeds and gently leads in pastures green. 4 Come, hear his voice today, receive what love imparts; his holy will obey and harden not your hearts. His ways are best and lead at last, all troubles past, to perfect rest. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

A mighty stronghold is our God

Author: Joel Swartz; Martin Luther Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: God our shepherd Lyrics: 1 A mighty stronghold is our God, A sure defence and weapon; He helps us free from every need Which hath us now o'er taken. The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not His equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected. Ask you who frees us? It is Christ Jesus-- The Lord Sabaoth, There is no other God; He'll hold the field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All waiting to devour us; We'll still succeed, so God hath willed,-- They cannot overpower us: The Prince of this world To hell shall be hurled; He seeks to alarm, But shall do us no harm; The smallest word can fell Him. 4 The Word they still must let remain, And for that have no merit; For He is with us on the plain, By His good gifts and Spirit: Destroy they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife? Let all pass amain, They still no conquest gain, For ours is still the kingdom. Amen. Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG

Why Should Cross and Trial Grieve Me?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.3.3.6.7.3.3.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Why should cross and trial grieve me? Christ is near with his cheer; never will he leave me. Who can rob me of the heaven that God's Son for my own to my faith hath given? 2 God oft gives me days of gladness; shall I grieve if he give seasons, too, of sadness? God is good and tempers ever all my ill, and he will wholly leave me never. 3 Death cannot destroy forever; from our fears, cares, and tears it will us deliver. It will close life's mournful story, make a way that we may enter heav'nly glory. 4 Lord, my Shepherd, take me to thee. Thou art mine; I was thine, even ere I knew thee. I am thine, for thou hast bought me; lost I stood, but thy blood free salvation brought me. 5 Thou art mine; I love and own thee. Light of joy, ne'er shall I from my heart dethrone thee. Savior, let me soon behold thee face to face; may thy grace evermore enfold me!

Come with All Joy to Sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: God as Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty King, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean floor to mountain crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to God who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, God alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear his voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their Saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: GERMANY

To tidings long by prophets borne Hast thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven! Sing, Ringing Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Saviour to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never: Our blessèd Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother. Amen. Scripture: John 10:12-16 Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN Text Sources: Based on German Hymn of 1621
