Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 602 hymnals Topics: Christian Pilgrimage First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed; Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed. 2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er; With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head; O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above: I seek by the path which my ancestors trod, Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love; Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love. Scripture: Psalm 23:1 Used With Tune: POLAND

Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee; Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: BETHANY

Herre Gud, du er og bliver

Author: Johan Wallin; Landstad; Landstad Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Herre Gud, du er og bliver Den, som jeg har hjertenskjær; I dit Hus een Dag mig giver Mere end som tusind her; Under Livets Strid og Nød Hvilen i det Ord hvor sød! Og hvor godt hos dig vor Hyrde, At saa glemme Dagens Byrde! 2 Udenfore Hjertet isner, Verden er saa koldt et Hjem, Troen kjølner, Haabet visner, Ukrud vokser frodig frem; Liv og Lykke varer kort, Venner skilles, vandre bort, Rakel sine Børn begræder, Trøstes ellers ingen Steder. 3 Men, naar til mig Ordet kommer Stærkt og trofast fra min Gud, Som de skjulte Tankers Dommer, Som et Trøstens Sendebud, Som en Torden, som en Ild, Som en Lustning sød og mild, Da min Sjæl til Himlen bæres, Tidens Sorg som Røg fortæres. 4 Og naar Salmesangen stiger Op mod Evighedens Kyst, Uro stilles, Angest viger, Hjertet banker høit af Lyst, Sjælen op fra Jordens Grus Længes til sin Faders Hus, Med sin Gud i Aanden taler, Og i Haabet sig husvaler. 5 O min Sjæl, du skal dig svinge Til det Salems Berg engang, Hvor Kerubers Harper klinge Til Forløstes Seierssang! Syng da nu, send Bønne-Bud Sent og tidlig hjem til Gud, Mens du end paa Jord en Fremmed Vandrer langt fra Fader-Hjemmet! 6 Dage komme, Tider flygte, Hold dig til Guds Ord og sig: Det er mine Fødders Lygte, Og et Lys her paa min Sti. Søg din Glæde i det Ord, Som fra Himmerig til Jord Bær den Naadeskat, der giver Trøst og Fred, som evig bliver. 7 Kristne, medens her vi vandre, Lader os paa Fædres Vis Bede sammen med hverandre, Glade synge Herrens Pris! Hør da, Gud, vor Bøn og Sang, Og velsign vor Kirkegang, Lad dit Aasyns Straaler falde Sødt i Hjertet paa os alle!

"In his feet and hands are wound-prints, And his side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That his brow adorns? “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorn." 4 If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, 'Yes.'" Amen.
