The Good Shepherd

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Christ Communion with First Line: The Lord my Shepherd holds me Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd holds me Within His tender care, And with His flock He folds me, No want shall find me there. In pastures green He feeds me, With plenty I am blest; By quiet streams He leads me And makes me safely rest. 2 Whatever ill betides me, He will restore and bless; For His Name's sake He guides me In paths of righteousness. Thy rod and staff shall cheer me In death's dark vale and shade, For Thou wilt then be near me: I shall not be afraid. 3 My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o'erflows. Thy goodness Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house for aye. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: EWING

Author: C. H. M. Meter: 9.10.9.10 Appears in 235 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart, Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art. Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast; Shelter me safe in that haven of rest, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest. 2 Nearer, still nearer; nothing I bring, Naught as an offering to Jesus, my King– Only my sinful, now contrite heart; Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine, Sin with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride; Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. 4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages, ever to be Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,734 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
