In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.

Now we seek Thee, here we stay.
Lord, we know not how to go
Till a blessing Thou bestow.

That may joy and peace afford;
Let Thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

Let the time of joy return;
Those that are cast down lift up,
Make them strong in faith and hope.

Thee a gracious God and kind.
Heal the sick, the captive free;
Let us all rejoice in Thee.

my ransomed soul he leadeth,
and, where the verdant pastures grow,
with food celestial feedeth.

but yet in love he sought me,
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.

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 O 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. Topics: Assurance; Blessing; Comfort; Faith; Jesus Christ Shepherd; Jesus Christ's Humanity; Living Water; Renewal; Trust Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA Text Sources: Scripture text

With this I venture nigh;

And such, O Lord, am I.

By Satan sorely pressed,
By war without and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.

That, sheltered near Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him Thou hast died!

To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead Thy gracious name.

and can I be dismayed?

and nothing can I lack:
his wisdom ever waking,
his sight is never dim,
he knows the way he's taking
and I will walk with him.

where dark the clouds have been;

my path to life is free;
my Saviour has my treasure,
and he will walk with me. Topics: Adversity; Anxiety; Comfort; Funerals; God's Love to Us; Guidance; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Pilgrimage; Providence; Saints Days and Holy Days St John the Evangelist; Trust in God Used With Tune: PENLAN

their constant service there!

through this dark vale of tears,
till each arrives at length,
till each in heaven appears:

when God our King,
shall thither bring
our willing feet. Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136TH
