Great Shepherd of thy people
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 212 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 First Line: Great Shepherd of thy people, hear Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear,
thy presence now display;
as thou hast giv'n a place for pray'r,
so give us hearts to pray.
2 Within these walls let holy peace
and love and concord dwell;
here give the troubled conscience ease,
the wounded spirit heal.
3 May we in faith receive thy word,
in faith present our pray'rs,
and in the presence of our Lord
unbosom all our cares.
4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
the contrite heart, bestow;
and shine upon us from on high,
that we in grace may grow. Topics: Healing; The Witnessing Community Scripture: 1 Kings 8:30-53 Used With Tune: OSWALD'S TREE
Great Shepherd of thy people
O 'Twas a Joyful Sound to Hear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O 'twas a joyful sound to hear
our tribes devoutly say,
"Up, Israel! to the temple haste,
and keep your festal day."
2 At Salem's courts we must appear
with our assembled pow'rs,
in strong and beauteous order ranged,
like her united tow'rs.
3 O pray we then for Salem's peace;
for they shall prosp'rous be,
thou holy city of our God,
who bear true love to thee.
4 May peace within thy sacred walls
a constant guest be found;
with plenty and prosperity
thy palaces be crowned.
5 For my dear brethren's sake, and friends
no less than brethren dear,
I'll pray, "May peace in Salem's tow'rs
a constant guest appear."
6 But most of all I'll seek thy good,
and ever wish thee well,
for Zion and the temple's sake,
where God vouchsafes to dwell.
