HYMNS:
693 PSALM 23
THE King of love my Shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack, if I am His,
and He is mine for ever.
2 Where streams of living waters 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 And so through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never:
good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
within Thy house for ever!
Henry Williams Baker, 1821-77

A DEBTOR to mercy alone,
of covenant mercy I sing;
nor fear, with Your righteousness on,
my person and offering to bring;
the terrors of law and of God
with me can have nothing to do;
my Saviour’s obedience and blood
hide all my transgressions from view.
2 The work which His goodness began,
the arm of His strength will complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen,
and never was forfeited yet.
Things future, nor things that are now,
not all things below nor above,
can make Him His purpose forgo,
or sever my soul from His love.
3 My name from the palms of His hands
eternity will not erase;
impressed on His heart it remains,
in marks of indelible grace;
yes, I to the end shall endure,
as sure as the earnest is given;
more happy, but not more secure,
the glorified spirits in heaven.
Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-78

COME, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
let us Thine influence prove,
source of the old prophetic fire,
fountain of light and love.
2 Come, Holy Ghost, for moved by Thee
the prophets wrote and spoke;
unlock the truth, Thyself the key,
unseal the sacred book.
3 Expand Thy wings, celestial dove,
brood o’er our nature’s night;
on our disordered spirits move,
and let there now be light.
4 God, through Himself, we then shall know,
if Thou within us shine,
and sound, with all Thy saints below,
the depths of love divine.
Charles Wesley, 1707-88

‘GREAT is Thy faithfulness’, O God my
Father,
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
as Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
‘Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy
faithfulness!’
Morning by morning new mercies I see!
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided –
‘Great is Thy faithfulness’, Lord, unto me!
2 Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
3 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Thomas O Chisholm, 1866-1960
