The Lord Is My Shepherd

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 591 hymnals First Line: The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know; I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest; He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow, Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed; Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed. 2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray, Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear; Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near; No harm can befall, with my Comforter near. 3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread; With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er; With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head; O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? O what shall I ask of Thy providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above: I seek by the path which my ancestors trod, Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love; Through the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love.

Wake, Isles of the South!

Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 11.11.11.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals First Line: Wake, isles of the South! Your redemption is near Lyrics: 1. Wake, isles of the South! Your redemption is near, No longer repose in the borders of gloom; The strength of His chosen in love shall appear, And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb, And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb. 2. The billows that girt you, the wild waves that roar, The zephyrs that play where the ocean storms cease, Shall bear the rich freight to your desolate shore, Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace, Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace. 3. On the islands that sit in the regions of night, The lands of despair, to oblivion a prey, The morning will open with healing and light, The glad star of Bethlehem brighten today, The glad star of Bethlehem brighten today. 4. The heathen will hasten to welcome the time, The dayspring, the prophet in vision once saw, When the beams of Messiah will ’lumine each clime, And the isles of the ocean will wait for His law, And the isles of the ocean will wait for His law. Used With Tune: ISLES OF THE SOUTH
