The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 567 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want. He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by. 2 My soul He doth restore again; And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E'en for His own name’s sake. 3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, Yet will I fear none ill; For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff me comfort still. 4 My table Thou hast furnishèd In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore My dwelling place shall be.

The Care the Eagle Gives Her Young

Author: R. Deane Postlethwaite Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The care the eagle gives her young, safe in her lofty nest, is like the tender love of God for us made manifest. 2 As when the time to venture comes, she stirs them out to flight, so we are pressed to boldly try, to strive for daring height. 3 And if we flutter helplessly, as fledgling eagles fall, beneath us lift God's mighty wings to bear us, one and all.

Amidst Thy Wrath, Remember Love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amidst Thy wrath remember love; restore Thy servant, LORD; nor let a father’s chast'ning prove like an avenger’s sword. 2 Thine arrows stick within my heart: my flesh is sorely pressed; between the sorrow and the smart my spirit finds no rest. 3 My sins a heavy load appear, and o’er my head are gone; too heavy they for me to bear, too hard for me to atone. 4 My thoughts are like a troubled sea, my head still bending down; and I go mourning all the day beneath my Father’s frown. 5 Lord, I am weak, and broken sore, none of my pow'rs are whole; the inward anguish makes me roar, the anguish of my soul. 6 All my desire to Thee is known, Thine eye counts every tear; and every sigh, and every groan is noticed by Thine ear. 7 Thou art my God, my only hope; my God will hear me cry, my God will bear my spirit up, when Satan bids me die. 8 My foot is ever apt to slide, my foes rejoice to see't; they raise their pleasure and their pride when they supplant my feet. 9 But I’ll confess my guilt to Thee, and grieve for all my sin; I’ll mourn how weak my graces be, and beg support divine. 10 My God, forgive my follies past, and be for ever nigh; O Lord of my salvation haste, before Thy servant die!

Yet God Is Good To Israel

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yet God is good to Israel, To each pure-hearted one. With me, my steps had nearly slipped, My feet were almost gone. 2 For I was envious, and grudged The foolish ones to see, When I perceived the wicked men Enjoyed prosperity. 3 Because their strength continues firm; Their death from bands is free. They are not toiled like other men, Nor plagued, as others be. 4 Their pride doth therefore like a chain, Encompass them about; And, as a garment, violence Doth cover them throughout. 5 Their eyes stand out with fat, they have More than their hearts could wish. They are corrupt; their talk of wrong Both lewd and lofty is. 6 They set their mouth against the heav’ns In their blaspheming talk; And their reproaching tongue at large Throughout the earth doth walk. 7 His people, therefore, oftentimes Look back, and turn about; And in abundance unto them The waters are poured out. 8 And thus they say, "How can it be That God these things doth know?" Or, Can there in the Highest be Knowledge of things below? 9 Behold, how these, the wicked ones, Do prosper at their will In worldly things; how they increase In wealth and riches still! 10 I verily have sought in vain My heart to purify; And vainly also washed my hands In innocence have I. 11 For daily, and all day throughout, Great plagues I suffered have; Yea, every morning I anew Did chastisement receive. 12 If in this manner foolishly To speak I would intend, Thy children’s generation then Behold I should offend. 13 When I this thought to know, it was Too hard a thing for me; Till to God’s holy place I went, Then I their end did see. 14 Them set upon a slippery place Assuredly Thou hast; And suddenly didst Thou, O Lord, Them to destruction cast. 15 How in a moment suddenly To ruin brought are they! With fearful terrors utterly They are consumed away. 16 E’en like an empty dream when one From sleeping doth arise; So Thou, when Thou awakest, Lord, Their image shalt despise. 17 Thus grieved within me was my heart, And me my reins oppressed: So rude was I, and ignorant, And in Thy sight a beast. 18 Yet not withstanding this, O Lord, I ever am with Thee: Thou hast me held by my right hand, And still upholdest me. 19 With Thy good counsel while I live, Thou wilt me safely guide; And into glory afterward Receive me to abide. 20 O whom have I in heavens high But Thee, O Lord, alone? And in the earth whom I desire Besides Thee there is none. 21 My flesh and heart do faint and fail, But God my heart sustains; The strength and portion of my heart He evermore remains. 22 For, lo, they that are far from Thee Forever perish shall; And as for those who from Thee stray Thou hast destroyed them all. 23 But surely it is good for me That I draw near to God: In God I trust, that all Thy works I may declare abroad.

Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: The LORD my shepherd rules my life Lyrics: 1 The LORD, my shepherd, rules my life and gives me all I need; he leads me by refreshing streams; in pastures green I feed. 2 The LORD revives my failing strength, he makes my joy complete; and in right paths, for his name's sake, he guides my faltering feet. 3 Though in a valley dark as death, no evil makes me fear; your shepherd's staff protects my way, for you are with me there. 4 While all my enemies look on, you spread a royal feast; you fill my cup, anoint my head, and treat me as your guest. 5 Your goodness and your gracious love pursue me all my days; your house, O LORD, shall be my home your name, my endless praise.
