O Shepherd of the Sheep

Author: Vincent S. S. Coles Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Shepherd of the sheep, High Priest of things to come, Who didst in grace Thy servant keep, And take him safely home; 2. Accept our song of praise For all his holy care, His zeal unquenched through length of days, The trials that he bare. 3. Chief of Thy faithful band, He held himself the least, Though Thy dread keys were in his hand, O everlasting Priest. 4. So, trusting in Thy might, He won a fair renown; So, waxing valiant in the fight, He trod the lion down. 5. Then rendered up to Thee The charge Thy love had given, And passed away Thy face to see Revealed in highest Heav’n. 6. On all our bishops pour The Spirit of Thy grace; That, as he won the palm of yore, So they may run their race. 7. That, when this life is done, They may with him adore The ever blessèd Three in One, In bliss forevermore. Used With Tune: SWABIA Text Sources: Appendix to Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1868

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of Truth, come down, Reveal the things of God, Make Thou to us Christ’s Godhead known, Apply His precious blood. 2 His merits glorify, That each may clearly see Jesus, Who did for sinners die, Hath surely died for me. 3 No man can truly say That Jesus is the Lord, Unless Thou take the veil away And breathe the living word. 4 Then, only then, we feel Our interest in His blood And cry with joy unspeakable, “Thou art my Lord, my God.” Topics: God the Holy Spirit Used With Tune: SWABIA

God good and upright is

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 8 God good and upright is; the way he’ll sinners show. 9 The meek in judgement he will guide, and make his path to know. 10 The whole paths of the Lord are truth and mercy sure, to those that do his covenant keep, and testimonies pure. 11 Now, for thine own name’s sake, O Lord, I thee entreat to pardon mine iniquity; for it is very great. 12 What man is he that fears the Lord, and doth him serve? Him shall he teach the way that he shall choose, and still observe. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his posterity shall flourish still, and of the earth inheritors shall be. 14 With those that fear him is the secret of the Lord; the knowledge of his covenant he will to them afford.
