Give thou the hearing ear, Fix thou the wand'ring thought, That those we teach may hear The great things thou hast wrought. 3 Speak thou for us, O Lord, In all we say of thee; According to thy Word Let all our teaching be, That so thy lambs may know Their own true Shepherd's voice, Where'er he leads them go, And in his love rejoice. 4 Live thou within us, Lord; Thy mind and will be ours; Be thou belov'd, adored, And served with all our pow'rs, That so our lives may teach Thy children what thou art, And plead, by more than speech, For thee with ev'ry heart.

His hand, in sight of all my foes, will still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows; his oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may his house be my abode and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest while others go and come, no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of the mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood.
