The Good Shepherd.

Author: Joseph Morris Hymnal: Favourite Welsh Hymns #7 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4 First Line: My gentle Lamb, O come to me Lyrics: My gentle Lamb, O come to me! The ravenous wolf lurks near thy path; No fold is nigh, where wilt thou flee? The desert wild no safety hath: O come to me! Young art thou, tender Lamb, but warm My mantle round thee shall be pressed; And in my bosom, safe from harm Of storm or terror shalt thou rest. O come to me! And thou art feeble: I will find Of richest milk to nourish thee, And freshest herbs of sweetest kind, Thy daily pasturage shall be. O come to me! Thou shalt to glades, where ripple by Clear streams, where feed my lambkins, come; And when the shades of eve are nigh, I’ll bear thee safely to my home. O come to me! O, haste, my precious Lamb, to me: Come prove me by my bleeding heart: My Father too is seeking thee. Nor shalt thou ever from us part. Haste now to me! Languages: English

Immanuel! to Thee we sing

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #9 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: Immanuel! to Thee we sing, The Fount of life, of grace the Spring, Than fairest lily fairer far, Lord of all Lords, the morning Star! Hallelujah! With all Thy people, Lord, we raise To Thee our heart-felt songs of praise, That Thou, O long-expected Guest! Hast brought us our desirèd rest. Hallelujah! Since the Creator said—“Light be!” How many a heart hath watch’d for Thee! Of Fathers, Prophets, Saints the throng With ardent hope have waited long. Hallelujah! Than others more, the Shepherd King Belov’d by Thee, and wont to sing Thy praise on sounding harp, inspir’d By deeper longing, Thee desir’d. Hallelujah! Ah Zion! that thy Lord to thee Would come and set thy captives free; Ah! that our help would now arise And gladden Jacob’s waiting eyes. Hallelujah! There art Thou now, Thou ever-bless’d! There dost Thou in the manger rest; The world Thou deck’st, all things hast made— Thou’rt naked there, in weakness laid. Hallelujah! A stranger art Thou here below, To whom the Heav’ns allegiance owe; A mother’s milk dost not despise, Who art the Joy of angels’ eyes. Hallelujah! The bounds of ocean fix’d hast Thou, Who art a swaddled infant now; Thou’rt God—a bed of straw Thou hast. Thou’rt man—yet art the First and Last. Hallelujah! Of every joy Thou art the spring, Yet sorrow oft Thy heart doth wring. The Gentiles’ Light and Hope Thou art, Yet findest none to soothe Thy heart. Hallelujah! The sweetest Friend of man Thou art, Though many hate Thee in their heart! The heart of Herod loathèd Thee, Yet what art Thou? Salvation free! Hallelujah! Thy meanest servant, Lord! am I, I say it in sincerity; I love Thee, but not half so well As I should love,—more love I’d feel. Hallelujah! My pow’r is weak, though will be there, But my poor heart against Thee ne’er Shall rise t’ oppose,—Thou wilt receive By grace the little I can give. Hallelujah! Thou to be weak dost not disdain, Dost choose the things the world deems vain, Art poor and needy, and dost come, By love impell’d, to want’s drear home! Hallelujah! Thou sleepest on the lap of earth, The manger where Thou at Thy birth Wast laid to rest, the hay, the stall Were mean, were miserable all. Hallelujah! And therefore doth my courage rise, Thy servant wilt Thou not despise; The gracious mind that dwells in Thee Fills me with hope and gladdens me. Hallelujah! Lord! though I’ve pass’d in sin my days, And wandered far from wisdom’s ways, Yet therefore Thou to earth hast come, To bring the wand’ring sinner home. Hallelujah! Had I no debt of sin to face, How could I ever share Thy grace? In vain for me Thine advent here, Had I no wrath of God to fear. Hallelujah! Lord, fearlessly I come to Thee, Thou keep’st my soul from anguish free; Thou bear’st the wrath, dost death destroy, And sorrow turnest into joy. Hallelujah! My Head Thou art, Thy member I In turn am, and Thy property; Lord, I will serve Thee while I live With all the grace Thou deign’st to give. Hallelujah! Loud hallelujahs here I’ll sing, With joy that from my heart doth spring, And when I reach yon mansions fair I will repeat them ever there. Hallelujah! Languages: English

What Pleaseth God!

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs #41 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8.4 First Line: What pleaseth God, my faithful child Lyrics: What pleaseth God, my faithful child, Receive with joy; although the wild And wintry wind thy heart appal, Have faith, thee only can befal What pleaseth God! The will of God is aye the best, In it we can so calmly rest; Thyself to it anew resign, And only seek to have as thine What pleaseth God! God’s counsel is the only wise; Soon comes to nought what men devise; Their projects fall, fall out of use, Oft mischief work, not oft produce What pleaseth God! God’s mood is the most gracious mood, To all intending, doing good; He blesses, though hard words may speak The wicked world, and never seek What pleaseth God! The truest heart is God’s own heart, Who bids our misery depart; Who screens and shelters, day and night, The man who makes his chief delight What pleaseth God! Ah! could I sing, as sing I would, From out my heart, and ever should, I’d ope my mouth—in Him rejoice, This moment praise with heart and voice What pleaseth God! His counsel wise would I make known, The works of wonder He hath done; His saving grace, eternal pow’r, That work producing every hour What pleaseth God. He rules above and rules below; On Him hangs all our weal and woe; He bears the world in His high hand, For us brings forth the sea and land What pleaseth God! His hands the elements restrain; His hands our mortal life sustain— Give summer, winter, day, and night, That evermore to do delight What pleaseth God! His host, the stars, the moon, and sun, Their wonted courses ever run; Corn, oil, and must, bread, wine, and beer, The fruitful earth brings forth each year, Which pleaseth God! His understanding is all wise, He knows—they are before his eyes, Who evil think and evil do, As well as who the good pursue That pleaseth God! His little flock to Him is dear; When sinning they forsake His fear, He chastens with His Father’s rod, Till they return and do the good That pleaseth God! What cheers and strengtheneth our heart He knows, and ever doth impart Whatever good each one requires, Who seeks for good and aye desires What pleaseth God! Is’t so? then let the world retain What pleaseth her, and she deems gain; But thou in God delighted be, My heart! approve whate’er you see That pleaseth God! Let others then in haughty mood Rejoice in stores of earthly good; But thou the Cross with patience bear, Contented if thou hast the share That pleaseth God! Dost live in sorrow, sunk in grief, Hast much affliction—no relief? Still murmur not, for thou dost bear In this thy bitter life of care What pleaseth God! In suff’rings art thou doom’d to live? Then to thy great Protector cleave; The world and all the creatures too Are under God, can only do What pleaseth God! Doth ev’ry one despise Thy name? Do foes Thee scorn and treat with shame? Be not cast down, for Christ will raise Thy head, who seeth in thy ways What pleaseth God! Faith fastens on the Saviour’s love Works patience, hope that looks above; Lock both within thy secret heart, Thou’lt have as thine eternal part What pleaseth God! Thy part is in the Heav’nly throne, There is thy sceptre, kingdom, crown; There shalt thou taste, and hear, and see, There shall for ever happen thee What pleaseth God! Languages: English
