Afar in the Desert

Author: Laurene Highfield Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ Good Shepherd; The Good Shepherd First Line: Afar in the desert of sorrow and sin Refrain First Line: Remember me Lyrics: 1 Afar in the desert of sorrow and sin, Away from the Shepherd so kind; We wait for His footsteps, we list for His voice, We know He is eager the lost one to find. All footsore and weary, we long to return, But know not the way unto safety and home, Until through the darkness He guides us in love, From Him nevermore to roam. Refrain: Remember me, Remember me, Remember me, Remember me, dear Lord, I pray. 2 When off in the far land of folly and pride, Despising the good gifts of God; Like prodigals wasting the treasure He gave, And treading the paths many wand’rers have trod; We say to our Lord: “I will quickly arise, Thy mercy and love I no longer despise, Unworthy and wretched, forgiveness I prize, But that, and a place to serve. [Refrain] 3 The thief on the cross turned to Christ at his side, And asked in His kingdom a place, The Master made answer; “This day thou shalt be In paradise with Me, and look on My face.” And he who will turn to the Lord when astray, Will find He is ready the lost one to save; The Saviour who died for the sons far away Is reigning beyond the grave. [Refrain] 4 Afar in the bright land of glory above Is joy when a sinner returns To take up in gladness the cross of his Lord, And bearing it on, the true joy then he learns. The cross brings him close to the side of his King; “Remember me, Lord” in his soul then he sings, “Till Thou in Thy kingdom the ransom shalt bring, From Thee let me ne’er depart.” [Refrain] Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME

God, who in various methods told

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: God our shepherd; Shepherd of saints is God Lyrics: God, who in various methods told His mind and will to saints of old, Sent down his Son, with truth and grace, To teach us in these latter days. Our nation reads the written word, That book of life, that sure record: The bright inheritance of heav'n Is by the sweet conveyance giv'n. God's kindest thoughts are here expressed, Able to make us wise and bless'd; The doctrines are divinely true, Fit for reproof and comfort too. Ye British isles, who read his love In long epistles from above, (He hath not sent his sacred word To every land,) praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2

Jesus, we bless thy Father's name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: God our shepherd; Shepherd of saints is God Lyrics: Jesus, we bless thy Father's name; Thy God and ours are both the same; What heav'nly blessings from his throne Flow down to sinners through his Son! "Christ be my first elect," he said, Then chose our souls in Christ our head, Before he gave the mountains birth, Or laid foundations for the earth. Thus did eternal love begin To raise us up from death and sin; Our characters were then decreed, "Blameless in love, a holy seed." Predestinated to be sons, Born by degrees, but chose at once, A new regenerated race, To praise the glory of his grace. With Christ our Lord we share our part In the affections of his heart; Nor shall our souls be thence removed, Till he forgets his first-beloved. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3

Thou, whom my Soul admires above

Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Shepherd, Christ and His Pastures Lyrics: 1 Thou, whom my Soul admires above All earthly joy, and earthly Love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know Where doth thy sweetest Pasture grow? 2 Where is the Shadow of that Rock, That from the Sun defends thy Flock? Fain would I feed among thy Sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. 3 Why should thy Bride appear like one That turns aside to Paths unknown? My constant Feet would never rove, Would never seek another Love. [4 The Footsteps of thy Flock I see; Thy sweetest Pastures here they be; A wond'rous Feast thy Love prepares, Bought with thy Wounds, & Groans & Tears. 5 His dearest Flesh he makes my Food, And bids me drink his richest Blood: Here to these Hills my Soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home. Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:7
