The Lord Is My Shepherd

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 600 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed; Restores me when wand'ring, redeems when oppressed. 2 Thro' the valley and shadow of death tho' I stray, Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall with my Comforter near; No harm can befall with my Comforter near. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er; With perfume and oil thou anointest my head; O what shall I ask of thy providence more? O what shall I ask of thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet thee above: I seek by the path which my forefathers trod, Thro' the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love. Thro' the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: [The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know]

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,270 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home: 2 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, with all their lives and cares, are carried downward by your flood, and lost in foll'wing years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op'ning day. 7 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come: O be our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE (Croft)

Martin Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians First Line: Though the angry surges roll Refrain First Line: And it holds, my anchor holds Lyrics: 1 Though the angry surges roll On my tempest-driven soul, I am peaceful, for I know, Wildly tho' the winds may blow, I’ve an anchor safe and sure, That can evermore endure. Chorus: And it holds, my anchor holds; Blow your wildest, then, O gale, On my bark so small and frail; I shall never, never fail. For my anchor holds, my anchor holds. 2 Mighty tides about me sweep, Perils lurk within the deep, Angry clouds o’ershade the sky, And the tempest rises high; Still I stand the tempest’s shock, For my anchor grips the Rock. [Refrain] 3 I can feel the anchor fast As I meet each sudden blast, And the cable, though unseen, Bears the heavy strain between, Through the storm I safely ride, Till the turning of the tide. 4 Troubles almost whelm the soul; Griefs like billows o’er me roll; Tempters seek to lure astray, Storms obscure the light of day, But in Christ I can be bold, I’ve an anchor that shall hold. [Refrain] Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 6:19 Used With Tune: [Though the angry surges roll]
