The One Is Blest

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Good Shepherd First Line: The one is blest who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 The one is blest who, fearing God, walks not where sinners meet, who does not stand with wicked ones, and shuns the scorners' seat. 2 How blest the one who in God's law finds goodness and delight, and meditates upon that law with gladness day and night. 3 That one is nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure: the works of such abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are swept from off the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor at the judgment stand. 5 The LORD will guard the righteous well, their way to God is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

Before Jehovah's Awful Throne

Author: John Wesley; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 986 hymnals Topics: God Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and He destroy; He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We'll crowd His gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill His courts with sounding praise, Shall fill His courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is His command, Vast as eternity His love; Firm as a rock His truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move, When rolling years shall cease to move. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Jesus, Great Shepherd of the Sheep

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Jesus Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Jesus, great Shepherd of the sheep, To Thee for help we fly; Thy little flock in safety keep, For O, the wolf is nigh! 2 He comes, of hellish malice full, To scatter, tear, and slay; He seizes every struggling soul As his own lawful prey. 3 Us into Thy protection take, And gather with Thine arm; Unless the fold we first forsake, The wolf can never harm. 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel power While by our Shepherd's side; The sheep he never can devour Unless he first divide. 5 O do not suffer him to part The souls that here agree; But make us of one mind and heart, And keep us one in Thee. 6 Together let us sweetly live, Together let us die, And each a starry crown receive, And reign above the sky. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
