Have Thine Own Way

Savior, Like a Shepherd

O God Our Help in Ages Past

Come, thou Almighty King,
help us thy name to sing,
help us to praise.
Father, all glorious,
o'er all victorious,
come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.

Come, thou Incarnate Word,
gird on thy mighty sword,
our prayer attend!

Come, and they people bless,

and give thy word success,

Spirit of holiness, \on us descend.

Come, Holy Comforter,
thy sacred witness bear
in this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
now rule in every heart,
and ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.

To the great One in Three
eternal praises be,
hence evermore.
His sovereign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore.

Savior, like a shepherd lead us,

much we need thy tender care;

in thy pleasant pastures feed us,

for our use thy folds prepare.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Thou hast bought us thine we are. 

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Though hast bought us thine we are. 

We are thine, thou dost befriend us,

be the guardian of our way;

keep thy flock from sin defend us,

seek us when we go astray.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Hear, O hear us when we pray.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Hear, O hear us when we pray.

Thou hast promised to receive us,

poor and sinful though we be;

thou hast mercy to relieve us,

grace to cleanse and power to free.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

We will early turn to thee.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

We will early turn to thee.

Early let us seek thy favor,

early let us do thy will;

blessed Lord and only Savior,

with thy love our bosoms fill.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Though hast loved us, love us still.

Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus!

Thou hast loved us, love us still. 

O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast,

and our eternal home!

Under the shadow of they throne,

still may we dwell secure;

sufficient is thine arm alone,

and our defense is sure. 

Before the hills in order stood,

or earth received her frame,

from everlasting, thou art God,

to endless years the same.

A thousand ages, in thy sight,

are like an evening gone;

short as the watch that ends the night,

before the rising sun. 

Time, like an ever rolling stream,

bears all who breathe away;

they fly forgotten, as a dream

dies at the opening day. 

O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come;

be thou our guide while life shall last

and our eternal home.
