The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Author: H. W. Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 700 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never. I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever. 2 Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul he leadeth; and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me; and on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill, with thee, dear Lord, beside me; thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth; and oh, what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth! 6 And so through all the length of days, thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise within thy house forever.

Silently the Shades of Evening

Author: Christopher C. Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Silently the shades of evening Gather round my lowly door; Silently they bring before me Faces I shall see no more. 2. O the lost, the unforgotten, Though the world be oft forgot! O the shrouded and the lonely, In our hearts they perish not! 3. Living in the silent hours, Where our spirits only blend, They, unlinked with earthly trouble, We, still hoping for its end. 4. How such holy memories cluster, Like the stars when storms are past, Pointing up to that fair heaven, We may hope to gain at last. Used With Tune: STOCKWELL Text Sources: Woodworth's Cabinet, 1847

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 246 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is His name; In pastures fresh He makes me feed, Beside the living stream. 2 He brings my wand'ring spirit back When I forsake His ways, And leads me, for His mercy's sake, In paths of truth and grace. 3 When I walk through the shades of death, Thy presence is my stay; A word of Thy supporting breath Drives all my fears away. 4 Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thine oil anoints my head. 5 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may Thy house be my abode And all my work be praise! 6 There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come; No more a stranger or a guest But like a child at home.

Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming light and love upon my way, from the cross the radiance streaming adds more luster to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified; peace is there that knows no measure, joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, towering o'er the wrecks of time; all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime.
