Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and Bless
Author: Anonymous; James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
your chosen pilgrim flock
with manna in the wilderness,
with water from the rock.
2 Hungry and thirsty, faint and weak,
as you when here below,
our souls the joys celestial seek
which from thy sorrows flow.
3 We would not live by bread alone,
but by that Word of grace,
in strength of which we travel on
to our abiding place.
4 Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
your table in our heart.
5 There sup with us in love divine;
your body and your blood,
that living bread, that heav'nly wine,
be our immortal food.
Scripture: Matthew 4:4 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

Author: Micahel Perry Meter: Irregular Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Shepherd; Shepherd Refrain First Line: Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 See him lying on a bed of straw:
a drafty stable with an open door;
Mary cradling the babe she bore -
the Prince of glory is his name.
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
to see the Lord of love again:
just as poor as was the stable then,
the Prince of glory when he came.
2 Star of silver, sweep across the skies,
show where Jesus in the manger lies;
shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise
to see the Savior of the world! [Refrain]
3 Angels, sing again the song you sang,
sing the glory of God's gracious plan;
sing that Bethlehem's little baby can
be the Savior of us all. [Refrain]
4 Mine are riches, from your poverty,
from your innocence, eternity;
mine, forgiveness by your death for me,
Child of sorrow for my joy. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:6-7 Used With Tune: CALYPSO CAROL

O Thou, in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 508 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd; Christ Shepherd First Line: O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all.
2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in this wilderness rove?
3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,
And smile at the tears I have shed.
4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word;
He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.
5 Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call;
I know the sweet sound of Thy voice;
Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all,
And in Thee I will ever rejoice.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,705 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes my sorrows, heals my wounds,
and drives away my fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
it satisfies the hungry soul,
and gives the weary rest.
2 Dear name, the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace,
Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end--
accept the praise I bring.
3 Weak is the effort of my heart
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
Author: Rev. William A. Muhlenberg Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 372 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
With the shepherd's kindest care,
All the feeble gently leading,
While the lambs Thy bosom share;
2 Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in Thy gracious arm;
There, we know, Thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.
3 Never, from Thy pasture roving,
Let them wander far away;
Let Thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them through life's dangerous way.
4 Then, within Thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of Thy grace.
Amen. Used With Tune: BROCKLESBURY
Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
