By His Spirit and Word, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, our Saviour and Lord. 4 O Shepherd, abide with us; care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will; And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee.

With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #272 (1937) Lyrics: 1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit, and Word, And loving communion at altar and board, We meet with assurance the dawn of each day: The Shepherd is with us, The Shepherd is with us, To lead and protect us, and teach us the way. 2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night, A band presses on through the gloom toward light; Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world, They follow the Saviour, They follow the Saviour, And march on to glory, with banners unfurled. 3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content, And ever on sin and transgression are bent, I follow, victorious hosts, at your word, And march on to glory, And march on to glory, We march on to glory, our captain the Lord. 4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear, Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear; I joyfully follow the champions of right, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, with weapons of might. 5 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will; And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen.
