I want for nothing! I am God's and God is mine forever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My happy soul God leads now, And where the greenest pastures grow with food celestial feeds now. 3 Though often foolishly I strayed, still in true love God sought me; and told me to be unafraid, and home again God brought me. 4 In time of death I'll have no fear with You, dear Lord, beside me; your rod and staff my comfort still, your cross before to guide me. 5 You spread a table in my sight; The bread of life bestowing; With promise of eternal light My cup is overflowing! 6 Through all of my remaining days Then guide me, leave me never, Good Shepherd, may I sing Your praise Within Your house forever.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail his ways! Fears and doubts too long have bound us-- free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal, lest we miss your kingdom’s goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the gift of your salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving you whom we adore, serving you whom we adore. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
