Scott-Haycroft Meter: 5.6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: God or Christ as Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Shepherd, Caring in every need, Watching Thy flock to feed; I trust Thee still. In the green pastures low, Where living waters flow, Safe by Thy side I go, Fearing no ill. 2 Or if my way lie Where darkening shadows nigh My soul would terrify With sudden chill, Yet I am not afraid; While softly on my head Thy tender hand is laid, I fear no ill. 3 Goodness and mercy Ever shall follow me, Till by Thy grace I see Thy holy hill. Lord, in that home with Thee, Joyful eternally, Folded Thy flock shall be, Safe from all ill. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: MY SHEPHERD

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Bernard of Clairvaux, (1091-1153) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 751 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns Thine only crown! Once reigning in the highest In light and majesty, Dishonored now Thou diest, Yet here I worship Thee. 2 How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. 3 Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, 'Tis I deserve Thy place: Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. Receive me, my Redeemer; My Shepherd, make me Thine, Of every good the Fountain, Thou art the Spring of mine! 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end! Oh, make me Thine forever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 5 Forbid that I should leave Thee; O Jesus, leave not me; In faith may I receive Thee, When death shall set me free. When strength and comfort languish, And I must hence depart, Release me then from anguish By thine own wounded heart. Amen. Scripture: Job 3:17 Used With Tune: HERZLICH THUT MICH VERLANGEN

What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our Refuge– Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In His arms he'll take and shield thee, Thou wilt find a solace there. AMEN. Used With Tune: CONVERSE

O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. 3 A place for Thy people, Thou, Lord, didst prepare, Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care; Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, Spread over the mountains from river to sea. 4 Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows, Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine. 5 The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down, Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown; The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do. 6 When Thou shalt revive us Thy name we shall praise, And nevermore, turning, depart from Thy ways; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Shepherd, God/Christ as; Shepherd, God/Christ as Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share."
