The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 675 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.
2. Where streams of living water flow,
my ransomed soul he leadeth;
and where the verdant pastures grow,
with food celestial feedeth.
3. Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed,
but yet in love he sought me;
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4. In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
5. Thou spreadst a table in my sight;
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and oh, what transport of delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!
6. And so through all the length of days,
thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
within thy house forever.

O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God
Author: Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 338 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O breathe on me, O breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the things you love,
And do what you would do.

Until my heart is pure;
Until my will is one with yours,
To do and to endure.
3 O breathe on me, O breath of God,
My will to yours incline,
Until this selfish part of me
Glows with your fire divine.

So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
Of your eternity.

Put Peace into Each Other's Hands
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Put peace into each other's hands
and like a treasure hold it;
protect it like a candle flame,
with tenderness enfold it.
2 Put peace into each other's hands
with loving expectation;
be gentle in your words and ways,
in touch with God's creation.
3 Put peace into each other's hands,
like bread we break for sharing;
look people warmly in the eye:
our life is meant for caring.
4 As at communion, shape your hands
into a waiting cradle;
the gift of Christ receive, revere,
united round the table.
5 Put Christ into each other's hands,
he is love's deepest measure;
in love make peace, give peace a chance
and share it like a treasure. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:11 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

How Sweet and Awesome Is the Place
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awesome is the place
with Christ within the doors,
while everlasting love displays
the choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts and all our songs
join to admire the feast,
each of us cries, with thankful tongue,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
3 "Why was I made to hear your voice,
and enter while there's room,
when thousands make a wretched choice,
and rather starve than come?"
4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast
that sweetly drew us in;
else we had still refused to taste,
and perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God,
constrain the earth to come;
send your victorious Word abroad,
and bring the strangers home.
6 We long to see your churches full,
that all the chosen race
may, with one voice and heart and soul,
sing your redeeming grace.

As now the sun's declining rays
Author: Rev. John Chandler; Rev. Charles Coffin Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As now the sun's declining rays
At eventide descend,
E'en so our years are sinking down
To their appointed end.

To draw us to the sky,
O grant us then that cross to love,
And in those arms to die.

And God the Holy Ghost,
All glory be from men on earth,
And from the angel host.

let us thine influence prove:
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of life and love.

the prophets wrote and spoke;
unlock the truth, thyself the key:
unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
brood o'er our nature's night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.

Dear Refuge Of My Weary Soul
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise,
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies.
2 While hope revives, though pressed with fear
And I can say My God,
Beneath Thy feet I spread my cares,
And pour my woes abroad.
3 To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal;
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
4 But oh! when gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
5 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust,
And still my soul would cleave to Thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.
6 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face?
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain?
7 No, still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer;
O may I ever find a place
To breathe my sorrows there.
8 Thy mercy seat is open still;
Here let my soul retreat,
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet. Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760, alt.
Dear Refuge Of My Weary Soul
My God, I Love Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, I love thee, not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because, if I love not,
I must forever die.
2. Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear
and manifold disgrace.
3. Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell.
4. Not with the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward,
but as thyself hast loved me,
O everlasting Lord.
5. So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
because thou art my loving God
and my eternal King.
