The LORD himself doth condescend

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Death Lyrics: 1 The LORD himself doth condescend, To be my Shepherd and my Friend; I on his faithfulness rely; His Care shall all my Wants supply. 2 In Pastures green he doth me lead, And there in Safety makes me feed, Refreshing Streams are ever nigh, My thirsty Soul to satify. 3 When stray'd, or languid, I complain, His Grace revives my Soul again; For his Name's sake, in Ways upright, He makes me walk with great Delight. 4 Yea, when Death's gloomy Vale I tread, With Joy, ev'n there, I'll lift my Head; From Fear and Dread he'll keep me free, His Rod and Staff shall comfort me. 5 Thou spread'st a Table, Lord for me, While Foes with Spite thy Goodness see; Thou dost my Head with Oil anoint, And a full Cup for me appoint. 6 Goodness and Mercy shall to me, Through all my Life extended be; And when my Pilgrimage is o'er, I'll dwell with thee for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: [The Lord himself doth condescend]

'Tis Jesus still appears, A risen Lord, to chase away Your unbelieving fears: Oh, weep no more your comforts slain, The Lord is risen, He lives again. 4 And when the shades of evening fall, When life's last hour draws nigh, If Jesus shine upon the soul, How blissful then to die; Since He has risen that once was slain, Ye die in Christ to live again.
