Thou Shepherd of Israel divine

Appears in 179 hymnals Topics: Blessedness of piety 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 reclined, 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 Thy heart.

My God, my Portion, and my Love

Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Blessedness only in God Lyrics: 1 My God, my Portion, and my Love, My everlasting All, I've none but Thee in Heav'n above, Or on this earthly Ball. [2 What empty Things are all the Skies, And this inferior Clod? There's nothing here deserves my Joys, There's nothing like my God.] [3 In vain the bright, the burning sun Scatters his feeble Light; 'Tis thy sweet Beams create my Noon; If thou withdraw, 'tis Night. 4 And whilst upon my restless Bed, Amongst the Shades, I roll, If my Redeemer shew his Head, 'Tis Morning with my Soul.] 5 To Thee we owe our Wealth and friends, And Health and safe Abode; Thanks to thy Name for meaner Things, But they are not my God. 6 How vain a Toy is glitt'ring Wealth, If once compar'd to Thee? Or what's my Safety, or my Health, Or all my Friends to me? 7 Were I Possessor of the Earth, And call'd the Stars my own, Without thy Graces and thyself I were a Wretch undone. 8 Let others stretch their Arms like Seas And grasp in all the Shore, Grant me the Visits of thy Face, And I desire no more.
