Footsteps of Jesus

And we see where Thy footprints falling Lead us to Thee.

[Refrain] 4 Then at last, when on high He sees us, Our journey done, We will rest where the steps of Jesus End at His throne. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling]

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,243 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart; Rise to all eternity. AMEN. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Come, Humble Sinner, In Whose Breast

Author: Edmund Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 704 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know His courts, I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before His throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell Him, I'm a wretch undone Without His sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps He will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die.

Jesus, Great Shepherd of the Sheep

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Jesus Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Jesus, great Shepherd of the sheep, To Thee for help we fly; Thy little flock in safety keep, For O, the wolf is nigh! 2 He comes, of hellish malice full, To scatter, tear, and slay; He seizes every struggling soul As his own lawful prey. 3 Us into Thy protection take, And gather with Thine arm; Unless the fold we first forsake, The wolf can never harm. 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel power While by our Shepherd's side; The sheep he never can devour Unless he first divide. 5 O do not suffer him to part The souls that here agree; But make us of one mind and heart, And keep us one in Thee. 6 Together let us sweetly live, Together let us die, And each a starry crown receive, And reign above the sky. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

In all my vast concerns with Thee

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: Shepherd, the Good Lyrics: 1 In all my vast concerns with Thee, In vain my soul would try To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee The notice of Thine eye. 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest, My public walks, my private ways, The secrets of my breast. 3 My thoughts lie open to Thee, Lord, Before they're formed within; And, ere my lips pronounce the word, Thou know'st the sense I mean. 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! Where can a creature hide! Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. 5 So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.

I Have Found a Friend In Jesus

Meter: Irregular Appears in 403 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me, He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; The "Lily of the Valley," In Him alone I see All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay, He tells me every care on Him to roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 2 He all my griefs has taken And all my sorrows borne, In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower; I have all for Him forsaken, And all my idols torn From my heart, and now He keeps me by His power. Though all the world forsake me, And Satan tempts me sore, Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 3 He will never, never leave me, Nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory To see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll; He's the "Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star," He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. AMEN. Used With Tune: SONG OF SOLOMON-2 1
