PSALM 22. Third Part. L.M.
The sufferings and story of Christ. (cont.)
3 |
They wound his head, his hands, his feet,
'Till streams of blood each other meet;
By lot his garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which he dy'd.
|
4 |
But God, his Father, heard his cry;
Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high:
The nations learn his righteousness,
And humble sinners taste his grace.
|
PSALM 23. First Part. L.M.
Jesus is my shepherd.
1 |
JESUS, my Lord, doth condescend,
To be my shepherd and my friend;
I on his faithfulness rely,
His cares shall all my wants supply.
|
2 |
In pastures green he doth me lead,
And there in safety makes me feed:
Refreshing streams are ever nigh.
My thirsty soul to satisfy.
|
3 |
When stray'd, or languid, I complain,
His grace revives my soul again:
For his name's sake, in ways upright,
He makes me walk with great delight.
|
4 |
Yea, when death's gloomy vale I tread,
With joy, ev'n there, I'll lift my head;
From fear and dread he'll keep me free;
His rod and staff shall comfort me.
|
5 |
A table stor'd with living bread,
In spite of foes, Lord, thou hast spread;
Thou dost my head with oil anoint,
And a full cup for me appoint.
|
6 |
Goodness and mercy shall to me,
Thro' all my life extended be;
And when my pilgrimage is o'er,
I'll dwell with thee for evermore.

PSALM 23. Second Part. S.M.
I shall not want.
1 |
JESUS my Shepherd lives,
Jehovah is his name:
Since he is mine, and I am his,
I shall not suffer shame.
|
2 |
He leads me to the place
Where heav'nly pasture grows;
Where living waters gently pass;
And full salvation flows.
|
3 |
If e'er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim:
And guides me in his own right way
For his most holy name.
|
4 |
While he affords his aid,
I cannot want or fear:
Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade,
My shepherd's with me there.
|
5 |
In spite of all my foes
Thou dost my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
|
6 |
The bounties of thy love
Shall crown my following days;
Nor from thy house will I remove,
Nor cease to speak thy praise.
|
PSALM 24. L.M.
The heavenly mansions, and ascension of Christ.
1 |
THIS spacious earth is all the Lord's,
And men and worms, and beasts and birds:
He raised the building on the seas,
And gave it for their dwelling-place. HL Note
