Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Christ Our Shepherd; Believers (See also Christian Saints) Joy of; Communion With Christ; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; Shepherd, the Good; Lamb Jesus, the Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art;
The pasture I languish to find,
Where all who their Shepherd obey
Are fed, on Thy bosom reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
2 Ah! show me that happiest place,
The place of Thy people's abode,
Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
And hang on their crucified Lord;
Thy love for a sinner declare,
Thy passion and death on the tree;
My spirit to Calvary bear,
To suffer and triumph with Thee.
3 'Tis there, with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only, I covet to rest,
To lie at the foot of the rock,
Or rise to be hid in Thy breast;
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart;
Concealed in the cleft of Thy side,
Eternally held in Thy heart. Used With Tune: ARABIA

No rest is to be found.
No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessed love;
O let my wish be crowned,
And send it from above!

Draw nigh, Thou risen Son of God,

To each Thyself reveal;
With words of hope our souls attune,
And break the mystic seal.

Spoken by seers of old,
Cause men to see the suffering Lord
Thy glorious plan unfold.

And hope be all aglow,
Master Divine, our spirits yearn
More of Thyself to know.

Be Thou our welcome guest;
For they whose hearts in Thee confide
Shall be for ever blest.

And earth's brief day shall cease,
O Friend of Souls, to each and all
Breathe forth Thy word of "Peace." Used With Tune: DALEHURST

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!
For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
Always Thou lovedst me.
