StF 481

  1. The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;
    he makes me lie in pastures green,
    he leads me by the still, still waters,
    his goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in you alone,
and I will trust in you alone,
for your endless mercy follows me,
your goodness will lead me home.

  1. He guides my ways in righteousness,
    and he anoints my head with oil;
    and my cup — it overflows with joy,
    I feast on his pure delights.
  1. And though I walk the darkest path —
    I will not fear the evil one,
    for you are with me, and your rod and staff
    are the comfort I need to know.

StF 85

  1. Praise the Lord who reigns above
    and keeps his court below;
    praise the holy God of love,
    and all his greatness show;
    praise him for his noble deeds,
    praise him for his matchless power:
    him from whom all good proceeds
    let earth and heaven adore.
  1. Celebrate the eternal God
    with harp and psaltery,
    timbrels soft and cymbals loud
    in his high praise agree:
    praise him every tuneful string;
    all the reach of heavenly art,
    all the powers of music bring,
    the music of the heart.
  1. Him, in whom they move and live,
    let every creature sing,
    glory to their Maker give,
    and homage to their King:
    hallowed be his name beneath,
    as in heaven on earth adored;
    praise the Lord in every breath,
    let all things praise the Lord.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

StF 672

  1. Where can we find you, Lord Jesus our Master?
    We want to serve you, to answer your call.
    Where do you lead us and ask us to follow?
    What should we do in our service to all?
  1. 'Go to the hungry, to those who have nothing;
    go where the farmlands are empty and bare.
    I broke the bread for the people around me;
    out of my plenty, think what you can share.
  1. 'Go to the homeless, to those who have nowhere;
    go where my people sleep out in the rain.
    I had no comforts but what others gave me;
    offer them shelter, give ease to their pain.
  1. 'Go to the outcast, to those who have no-one;
    go where my sheep are rejected and lost.
    I dined with sinners and reached out to lepers;
    go and do likewise, and don't count the cost.'
  1. Where will we find you, Lord Jesus our Master?
    We are your servants who answer your call.
    You go before us, and there we will follow,
    taking our cross in the service of all.

StF 238

  1. Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
    o'er the world's tempestuous sea;
    guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
    for we have no help but thee,
    yet possessing every blessing
    if our God our Father be.
  1. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us;
    all our weakness thou dost know,
    thou didst tread this earth before us,
    thou didst feel its keenest woe;
    tempted, taunted, yet undaunted,
    through the desert thou didst go.
  1. Spirit of our God, descending,
    fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
    love with every passion blending,
    pleasure that can never cloy;
    thus provided, pardoned, guided,
    nothing can our peace destroy.

James Edmeston (1791–1867)

StF 519

  1. Father, I place into your hands
    the things I cannot do.
    Father, I place into your hands
    the times that I've been through.
    Father, I place into your hands
    the way that I should go,
    for I know I always can trust you.
  1. Father, I place into your hands
    my friends and family.
    Father, I place into your hands
    the things that trouble me.
    Father, I place into your hands
    the person I would be,
    for I know I always can trust you.
  1. Father, we love to see your face,
    we love to hear your voice.
    Father, we love to sing your praise
    and in your name rejoice.
    Father, we love to walk with you
    and in your presence rest,
    for we know we always can trust you.
  1. Father, I want to be with you
    and do the things you do.
    Father, I want to speak the words
    that you are speaking too.
    Father, I want to love the ones
    that you will draw to you,
    for I know that I am one with you.

StF 309

  1. See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
    with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
    folded the graveclothes, tomb filled with light,
    as the angels announce Christ is risen!
    See God's salvation plan,
    wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
    fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
    for he lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
  1. See Mary weeping, ‘Where is he laid?'
    as in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
    hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
    it's the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
    The voice that spans the years,
    speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
    will sound till he appears,
    for he lives: Christ is risen from the dead!
  1. One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
    through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty;
    honour and blessing, glory and praise
    to the King crowned with power and authority!
    And we are raised with him,
    death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
    and we shall reign with him,
    for he lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

StF 161

  1. Speak, O Lord, as we come to you
    to receive the food of your holy word.
    Take your truth, plant it deep in us;
    shape and fashion us in your likeness,
    that the light of Christ might be seen today
    in our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
    Speak, O Lord, and fulfil in us
    all your purposes, for your glory.
  1. Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
    holy reverence, true humility.
    Test our thoughts and our attitudes
    in the radiance of your purity.
    Cause our faith to rise, cause our eyes to see
    your majestic love and authority.
    Words of power that can never fail;
    let their truth prevail over unbelief.
  1. Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
    help us grasp the heights of your plans for us.
    Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
    that will echo down through eternity.
    And by grace we’ll stand on your promises,
    and by faith we’ll walk as you walk with us.
    Speak, O Lord, till your Church is built
    and the earth is filled with your glory.

StF 312

  1. The head that once was crowned with thorns
    is crowned with glory now;
    a royal diadem adorns
    the mighty Victor's brow.
  1. The highest place that heaven affords
    is his, is his by right,
    the King of kings and Lord of lords,
    and heaven's eternal light.
  1. The joy of all who dwell above,
    the joy of all below
    to whom he manifests his love
    and grants his name to know.
  1. To them the cross, with all its shame,
    with all its grace, is given,
    their name an everlasting name,
    their joy the joy of heaven.
  1. They suffer with their Lord below,
    they reign with him above,
    their profit and their joy to know
    the mystery of his love.
  1. The cross he bore is life and health,
    though shame and death to him;
    his people's hope, his people's wealth,
    their everlasting theme.

Thomas Kelly (1769–1855)

StF 443

  1. Come, let us sing of a wonderful love,
    tender and true;
    out of the heart of the Father above,
    streaming to me and to you:
    wonderful love
    dwells in the heart of the Father above.
  1. Jesus, the Saviour, this gospel to tell,
    joyfully came;
    came with the helpless and hopeless to dwell,
    sharing their sorrow and shame;
    seeking the lost,
    saving, redeeming at measureless cost.
  1. Jesus is seeking the wanderers yet;
    why do they roam?
    Love only waits to forgive and forget;
    home, weary wanderer, home!
    Wonderful love
    dwells in the heart of the Father above.
  1. Come to my heart, O thou wonderful love,
    come and abide,
    lifting my life, till it rises above
    envy and falsehood and pride;
    seeking to be
    lowly and humble, a learner of thee.

Robert Walmsley (1831–1905)

StF 314

  1. This joyful Eastertide,
    what need is there for grieving?
    Cast all your cares aside
    and be not unbelieving:

Come, share our Easter joy
that death could not imprison,
nor any power destroy,
our Christ, who is arisen!

  1. No work for him is vain,
    no faith in him mistaken,
    for Easter makes it plain
    his kingdom is not shaken:
  1. Then put your trust in Christ,
    in waking and in sleeping.
    His grace on earth sufficed;
    he'll never quit his keeping:

StF 136

  1. Morning has broken
    like the first morning;
    blackbird has spoken
    like the first bird.
    Praise for the singing!
    Praise for the morning!
    Praise for them, springing
    fresh from the Word!
  1. Sweet the rain’s new fall
    sunlit from heaven,
    like the first dewfall
    on the first grass.
    Praise for the sweetness
    of the wet garden,
    sprung in completeness
    where his feet pass.
  1. Mine is the sunlight!
    Mine is the morning
    born of the one light
    Eden saw play!
    Praise with elation,
    praise every morning,
    God’s re-creation
    of the new day!

  1. I know that my Redeemer lives —
    what joy the blest assurance gives!
    He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
    he lives, my everlasting Head!
  1. He lives, to bless me with his love;
    he lives, to plead for me above;
    he lives, my hungry soul to feed;
    he lives, to help in time of need.
  1. He lives, and grants me daily breath;
    he lives, and I shall conquer death;
    he lives, my mansion to prepare;
    he lives, to lead me safely there.
  1. He lives, all glory to his name;
    he lives, my Saviour, still the same;
    what joy the blest assurance gives,
    I know that my Redeemer lives!

Samuel Medley (1738–1799)

StF 76

  1. Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
    give me joy in my heart, I pray;
    give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
    keep me praising till the break of day:

Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna!
Sing hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna!
Sing hosanna to the King!

  1. Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving,
    give me peace in my heart, I pray;
    give me peace in my heart, keep me loving,
    keep me loving till the break of day:
  1. Give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
    give me love in my heart, I pray;
    give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
    keep me serving till the break of day:

StF 487

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace,
and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you.
There'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the field
shall clap, shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and you'll go out with joy.
