The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Appears in 559 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence 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 noon-day 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 landskip flow. 3 Tho' in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. 4 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 crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around.

But above all, lay hold

Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: Part the Second. 1 But above all, lay hold Of faith’s victorious shield, Armed with that adamant and gold, Ye cannot lose the field; If faith surround your heart, Satan shall be subdu'd, Repell'd his ev'ry fiery dart, And quench'd with Jesu's blood. 2 Jesus hath dy'd for you! What can his love withstand? Believe! hold fast your shield, and who Shall pluck you from his hand? Believe that Jesus reigns, All pow'r to him is giv'n: Believe, till freed from sin's remains, Believe yourselves to heav'n! 3 To keep your armour bright, Attend with constant care; Still walking in our Captain's sight, And watching unto pray'r, Ready for all alarms, Stedfastly set your face, And always exercise your arms, And use your ev'ry grace. 4 Pray! without ceasing pray, (Your Captain gives the word) His summons cheerfully obey, And call upon the Lord: To God your ev'ry want In instant pray'r display; Pray! always pray, and never faint: Pray! without ceasing, pray.

There's not a bird with lonely nest

Author: Anon. Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 There’s not a bird with lonely nest, In pathless wood or mountain crest, Nor meaner thing, which does not share, O God, in Thy paternal care. 2 Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds Thee within its solitude; And Thou dost bless the wanderer there, Who makes his solitary prayer. 3 In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent’s tenderness! 4 And every moment still doth bring Thy blessings on its loaded wing; Widely they spread through earth and sky, And last through all eternity! Amen. Used With Tune: WARE

What cheering words are these!

Author: John Kent Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternity, ’Tis with the righteous well. 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endures, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise, ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying love; And ’tis as well, in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls: "From earth and sin, arise, Join with the hosts of virgin souls, Made to salvation wise!"

Still, for thy loving kindness, Lord

Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 Still, for thy loving kindness, Lord, I in thy temple wait, I look to find thee in a word, Or at thy table meet. 2 Here in thine own appointed ways I wait to learn thy will: Silent I stand before thy face, And hear thee say, "Be still!" 3 "Be still, and know that I am God!" 'Tis all I live to know! To feel the virtue of thy blood, And spread its praise below! 4 I wait my vigour to renew, Thine image to retrieve: The veil of outward things pass through, And gasp in thee to live. 5 I work; and own the labour vain, And thus from works I cease: I strive and see my fruitless pain, Till God create my peace. 6 Fruitless, till thou thyself impart, Must all my efforts prove: They cannot change a sinful heart, They cannot purchase love. 7 I do the thing thy laws enjoin, And then the strife give o'er; To thee I then the whole resign, And trust in means no more. 8 I trust in him who stands between The Father's wrath and me; Jesu, thou great eternal mean, I look for all from thee.
