D
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
A D
Thy search in the night was for me.
D
This bleak world is cold, but warm is Thy fold;
A D
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
G D
Thy beautiful lamp shineth bright o'er my way,
E A
Thy glorious light unto Thy per-fect day.
D
Thro' pastures serene, Thro' valleys of green,
A D
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
Thy great heart was broken for me.
Thy grace and Thy law I picture in awe;
They kissed upon Calvary.
Ah! Life that was given to ransom my soul,
Ah! Heart that was broken to make sinners whole,
This world is but loss
In view of Thy cross,
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.
O Shepherd divine, I know Thou art mine;
I hear Thee say, “Follow thou Me.”
Thy message today illumines my way;
The Spirit of Prophecy.
I thrill at Thy marvellous love to Thy sheep,
The way Thou dost lead to the still waters deep,
One staff and one rod,
One fold and one God;
My Shepherd, I follow Thee.

A D G D
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
D A E A
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
A D G D
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
D G A D
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
A D G D
This is my story, this is my song,
G D E A
praising my Saviour, all the day long;
A D G D
This is my story, this is my song,
D G A D
praising my Saviour, all the day long.
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light.
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen his natal star.
All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To the eternal Three in One.

D G A D
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
G A D
In a believer’s ear!
G A D G
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
G A D
And drives away his fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
Dear Name, the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding Place,
My never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace!
By Thee my prayers acceptance gain,
Although with sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,
And I am owned a child.
Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
O Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I’ll praise Thee as I ought.
Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath,
And may the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death!

D G
What a friend we have in Jesus,
D A
All ours sins and griefs to bear,
D G
What a privilege to carry
A D
Everything to God in prayer!
A D
O what peace we often forfeit,
G D A
O what needless pain we bear,
D G
All because we do not carry
A D
Everything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He·ll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
