To-day the Lord Our Shepherd leads

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Good Shepherd Lyrics: To-day the Lord our Shepherd leads To living streams His little flock, In green and flowery pastures feeds, And shades at noon beneath the rock. To-day we hear our Shepherd's voice, And gladly answer to His call; For Him, unseen, our hearts rejoice, Who knows, and names, and loves us all. Far from His fold we went astray; The howling wilderness He cross'd, 165 From Satan pluck'd us as a prey, Nor spared Himself to save the lost. Beneath His eye no vain alarms, No ravening wolves our walks infest; The lambs He gathers in His arms, And bears the feeble on His breast. By Him conducted, though we tread Death's valley, darkening on the view, No evil there our spirits dread, His rod and staff will guard us through. When the Chief Shepherd shall appear, And small and great before Him stand, Oh! be the flock, assembling here, Found with the sheep on His right hand.

Green pastures and clear streams

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Good Shepherd Lyrics: Green pastures and clear streams, Freedom and quiet rest, 58 Christ's flock enjoy, beneath His beams, Or in His shadow rest. The mountain and the vale, Forest and field, they range; The morning dew, the evening gale, Bring health in every change. Secure amidst alarms, From violence or snares, The lambs He gathers in His arms, And in His bosom bears. The woumded and the weak He comforts, heals, and binds; The lost He came from heaven to seek, And saves them when He finds. Through wilds of brier and thorn, In darkness if they stray, They wander not like waifs forlorn; Their Shepherd is their way. Should storms of trouble blow, Warn'd of the coming shock, They to the Rock of Ages go; Their Shepherd is their Rock. Let earth and hell oppose, Let Satan take the field; Quench'd are the darts of all their foes; Their Shepherd is their shield. Death may assail; but death Is vanquish'd in the strife; The moment of departing breath, Begins eternal life. 59 Conflicts and trials done, His glory they behold, Where Jesus and His flock are one, One Shepherd and one fold. When the last trump shall sound, And graves break up their sleep, At His right hand may we be found, Among the chosen sheep.

Author: James E. Seddon; Calvin Seerveld Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 I worship you, O LORD, for you have raised me up; I cried to you for help, and you restored my life. You brought me back from death and saved me from the grave. 2 Sing praises to the LORD, all those who know his name; for while his wrath is brief, his favor knows no end. Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy. 3 I said, "I am so strong, I never shall be moved"; but you, LORD, shook my life-- my heart was in distress. I cried out for your help and pleaded for your grace: 4 "What good am I when dead, while lying in the grave? Can dust recount your love, the grave proclaim your praise? O hear me, gracious LORD, in mercy be my aid!" 5 My mourning you have turned to dancing and to joy; my sadness you dispelled as gladness filled my soul. And so I'll sing your praise, my God, through all my days. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: BISHOP TUCKER

Afar in the Desert

Author: Laurene Highfield Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ Good Shepherd; The Good Shepherd First Line: Afar in the desert of sorrow and sin Refrain First Line: Remember me Lyrics: 1 Afar in the desert of sorrow and sin, Away from the Shepherd so kind; We wait for His footsteps, we list for His voice, We know He is eager the lost one to find. All footsore and weary, we long to return, But know not the way unto safety and home, Until through the darkness He guides us in love, From Him nevermore to roam. Refrain: Remember me, Remember me, Remember me, Remember me, dear Lord, I pray. 2 When off in the far land of folly and pride, Despising the good gifts of God; Like prodigals wasting the treasure He gave, And treading the paths many wand’rers have trod; We say to our Lord: “I will quickly arise, Thy mercy and love I no longer despise, Unworthy and wretched, forgiveness I prize, But that, and a place to serve. [Refrain] 3 The thief on the cross turned to Christ at his side, And asked in His kingdom a place, The Master made answer; “This day thou shalt be In paradise with Me, and look on My face.” And he who will turn to the Lord when astray, Will find He is ready the lost one to save; The Saviour who died for the sons far away Is reigning beyond the grave. [Refrain] 4 Afar in the bright land of glory above Is joy when a sinner returns To take up in gladness the cross of his Lord, And bearing it on, the true joy then he learns. The cross brings him close to the side of his King; “Remember me, Lord” in his soul then he sings, “Till Thou in Thy kingdom the ransom shalt bring, From Thee let me ne’er depart.” [Refrain] Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME

The best of friends I have in heaven

Author: J. H. Horstmann Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Good Shepherd Lyrics: 1 The best of friends I have in heaven, The loyal friends on earth are few; Where hearts to things of earth are given, Friends cannot be sincere and true; But firmly I can e’er depend On Jesus as my dearest friend. 2 The world bestows its greatest favors On those who can and will repay; Whenever fortune’s friendship wavers, Its favors too will pass away; With Jesus such is not the end, He always is the dearest friend. 3 He is the friend above all others, Whose heart and soul is wholly mine; Whose love is stronger than a brother’s, And stands beyond the end of time; Then praise with me unto the end My Saviour as the dearest friend. Used With Tune: [The best of friends I have in heaven]
