[ 139 ]
HYMN 10. Common Metre.
1. Lo! what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and see are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
2. From the third heavens where God resides:
That holy and happy place,
The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
3. Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing,
"Mortals, behold! the sacred seat
Of your descending King."
4. My shepard is the living Lord,
Now shall my wants be well supplied,
His providence and holy word
Becomes my safety and my guide.
5. In pastures where salvation grow,
He makes me food—he makes me rest—
There living waters gently flow,
And all the food divinely blessed.
6. My wandering feet his ways mistake,
But he restores my soul to peace,
And leads me for his mercy's sake,
In the fair path of righteousness.
7. Though I walk through the gloomy vale.
Where death and all its terrors are,
My heart and hope shall never fail:
For God, my Shepard,'s with me there.
8. His own soft hand shall wipe the tear
From every weeping eye,
And pains and groans, and grief and fear,
And death itself shall die.
9. How long, dear Saviour, O! how loner
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swift around ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day.
HYMN 11. Common Metre.
1. My Shepard will supply my needs:
Jehovah is his name!
