The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 559 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 11 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, and feed me with a shepherd's care; his presence shall my wants supply, and guard me with a watchful eye; my noonday walks he shall attend, and all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, or on the thirsty mountain pant, to fertile vales and dewy meads my weary wand'ring steps he leads, where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way through devious lonely wilds I stray, thy bounty shall my pains beguile; the barren wilderness shall smile with sudden greens and herbage crowned, and streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, with gloomy horrors overspread, my steadfast heart shall fear no ill, for thou, 0 Lord, art with me still: thy friendly staff shall give me aid, and guide me through the dreadful shade. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: SURREY

Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is none but his loved ones know. 5 Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now, and through eternity.

Alleluia, alleluia, we in worship join with them. 4 Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished once for all when thou wast slain, in its fullness undiminished shall for evermore remain, Alleluia, alleluia, cleansing souls from every stain. 5 Life-imparting heavenly manna, stricken rock with streaming side, heaven and earth with loud hosanna worship thee, the Lamb who died, Alleluia, alleluia, risen, ascended, glorified!

Gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin; there for ever purified, in your presence to abide: come, with all your angels, come, raise the glorious harvest-home.
