My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts, 1675-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: Assurance; Blessing; Guidance; Home; Hope; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Renewal; Trust Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is his name: in pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wand'ring spirit back when I forsake his ways; and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death his presence is my stay; one word of his supporting breath drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, doth 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 will I find reviving rest, and freely go and come; no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION Text Sources: Scripture text

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Appears in 409 hymnals Topics: Christians Blessedness of; Consolation; Hope; Joy; Trials Blessings of; Trust In Providence; Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let an unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens, Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. Amen. Used With Tune: EVARTS
