The Lord my pasture shall prepare
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 557 hymnals 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 wandering 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. Topics: Proper 19 Year C Scripture: Ezekiel 34:12-15 Used With Tune: SURREY

bring us to heaven, where thy saints united
joy without ending.
3 All-holy Father, Son and equal Spirit,

thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding

O quam juvat
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: Happy are they, they that love God Lyrics: 1 Happy are they, they that love God,
whose hearts have Christ confest,
who by his cross have found their life,
and 'neath his yoke their rest.
2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,
when they together sing;
and strong the prayers that bow the ear
of heaven's eternal King.
3 Christ to their homes giveth his peace,
and makes their loves his own:
but ah, what tares the evil one
hath in his garden sown!
4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth,
did not its sorrows prove
the path whereby the sheep may find
the fold of Jesus' love.
5 Then shall they know, they that love him,
how all their pain is good;
and death itself cannot unbind
their happy brotherhood.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken, contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see,
truth in the inward part;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
courage our fainting souls to keep,
and trust thee though thou slay.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Proper 12 Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Used With Tune: ST HUGH

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 264 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
whether I die or live:
to love and serve thee is my share,
and this thy grace must give.
2 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
than he went through before;
he that into God's kingdom comes
must enter by this door.
3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
thy blessèd face to see;
for if thy work on earth be sweet,
what will thy glory be!
4 Then shall I end my sad complaints
and weary, sinful days,
and join with the triumphant saints
that sing my Saviour's praise.
5 My knowledge of that life is small,
the eye of faith is dim;
but 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
and I shall be with him. Topics: Saints Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 Used With Tune: ST HUGH
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Pour out thy Spirit from on high

and thine assembled servants bless;
graces and gifts to each supply,
and clothe thy priests with righteousness.
2 Within thy temple when they stand,
to teach the truth as taught by thee,
Saviour, like stars in thy right hand,
let all thy church’s pastors be.
3 Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
firmness with meekness, from above,
to bear thy people in their heart,
and love the souls whom thou dost love.
4 To watch and pray and never faint,
by day and night their guard to keep,
to warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
to feed thy lambs and tend thy sheep.
5 So, when their work is finished here,
may they in hope their charge resign;
when the Chief Shepherd shall appear,
O God, may they and we be thine. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:4 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
his praises sound,
as in his sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
take what he gives
and praise him still,
through good and ill,
who ever lives.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love;
let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er he send,
be filled with praise. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: 2 Corinthians 2:14 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

from all self-seeking set us free;
parents and children, may we live
in glad obedience to thee.

send down thy blessing from above.

their duties shared as in thy sight;
in kindly ways be thou our guide,
on mirth and trouble shed thy light.
Our Father, on the homes we love,
send down thy blessing from above. Topics: Mothering Sunday; Proper 11 Year C Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-15 Used With Tune: COLCHESTER
