Gracious Savior, Gentle Shepherd

Author: Jane Eliza Leeson, 1807-1882; John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 152 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Our little ones are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms and carried In Thy bosom, may they be Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, From all want and danger free. 2. Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy look of love directed, May they walk the narrow way; Thus direct them and protect them, Lest they fall an easy prey. 3. Let Thy holy Word instruct them; Fill their minds with heavn'ly light; Let Thy love and grace constrain them To approve whate'er is right, Take Thine easy yoke and wear it, And to prove Thy burden light. 4. Taught to lisp the holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned Glad thank-off'rings may they bring; Then, with all the saints in glory, Join to praise their Lord and King.

Yes, My Native Land, I Love Thee

Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 207 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yes, my native land, I love thee; All thy scenes, I love them well; Friends, connections, happy country! Can I bid you all farewell? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 2 Home! thy joys are passing lovely; Joys no stranger-heart can tell! Happy home ! ’tis sure I love thee! Can I—can I say—Farewell? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 3 Scenes of sacred peace and pleasure, Holy days and Sabbath bell. Richest, brightest, sweetest treasure! Can I say a last farewell ? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 4 Yes! I hasten from you gladly, From the scenes I loved so well! Far away, ye billows, bear me; Lovely native land, farewell! Pleased I leave thee—pleased I leave thee Far in heathen lands to dwell. 5 In the deserts let me labor, On the mountains let me tell How He died—the blessèd Savior— To redeem a world from hell! Let me hasten, let me hasten Far in heathen lands to dwell. 6 Bear me on, thou restless ocean; Let the winds my canvas swell— Heaves my heart with warm emotion, While I go far hence to dwell. Glad I bid thee, glad I bid thee, Native land! Farewell—Farewell!
