CXCVI | A Selection of Hymns#CXCVII | CXCVIII |
1 While my redeemer's near,
My shepherd and my guide,
I bid farewell to anxious fear,
My wants are all supply'd.
2 To ever-fragrant meads,
Where rich abundance grows,
His gracious hand indulgent leads,
And guards my sweet repose.
3 Along the lovely scene
Cool waters gently roll,
And kind refreshment smiles serene,
To cheer my fainting soul.
4 Here let my spirit rest;
How sweet a lot is mine!
With pleasure, food, and safety blest;
Beneficence divine!
5 Dear shepherd, if I stray,
My wandering feet restore;
To thy fair pastures guide my way,
And let me rove no more.
6 Unworthy as I am,
Of thy protecting care,
Jesus, I plead thy gracious name,
For all my hopes are there.
