Thou Shepherd of Israel divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel divine, The joy and desire of my heart, For closer communion I pine, I long to reside where thou art: The pasture I languish to find, Where all, who their Shepherd obey, Are fed, on thy boson reclin'd, And screen'd from the heat of the day. 2 Ah! show me that happiest place, That place of thy people's abode, Where saints in an ecstasy gaze, And hang on a crucified God: Thy love for a sinner declare, Thy passion and death on the tree; My spirit to Calvary bear, To suffer and triumph with thee. 3 'Tis there with the lambs of thy flock, There only I covet to rest, To lie at the foot of the Rock, Or rise to be hid in thy breast; 'Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart; Conceal'd in the cleft of thy side, Eternally held in thine heart. Scripture: Psalm 23

Author: Samuel F. Smith Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Love, and Communion With Christ First Line: Oh, not my own these verdant hills Lyrics: 1 Oh, not my own these verdant hills, And fruits and flowers, and stream, and wood; But his who all with glory fills, Who bought me with his precious blood. 2 Oh, not my own this wondrous frame, Its curious work, its living soul; But his who for my ransom came; Slain for my sake, he claims the whole. 3 Oh, not my own the grace that keeps My feet from fierce temptations free; Oh, not my own the thought that leaps, Adoring, blessed Lord, to thee. 4 Oh, not my own; I'll soar and sing, When life, with all its toils, is o'er, And thou thy trembling lamb shalt bring Safe home, to wander nevermore.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 325 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Behold my heart, and see: And turn each cursed idol out, That dares to rival thee. 2 Do not I love thee from my soul? Then let me nothing love: Dead be my heart to ev'ry joy, Which thou dost not approve. 3 Is not thy name melodious still To my attentive ear? Doth not each pulse with pleasure beat My Savior's voice to hear? 4 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock, I would disdain to feed? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 5 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord, But O, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more. Scripture: John 21:15
