Psalm 23 is a favourite of many people. Here is a version of it that I happen to enjoy:
Like a Shepherd.
Text: Isaiah, Ezekiel, Matthew; Bob Dufford, SJ.
Tune: Bob Dufford, SJ;
(c) 1976, Robert J. Dufford, SJ, and OCP.
REFRAIN: Like a shepherd He feeds his flock
and gathers the lambs in His arms,
holding them carefully close to His heart,
leading them home.
and gathers the lambs in His arms,
holding them carefully close to His heart,
leading them home.
Say to the cities of Judah:
Prepare the way of the Lord.
Go to the mountaintop, lift your voice;
Jerusalem, here is your God.
Prepare the way of the Lord.
Go to the mountaintop, lift your voice;
Jerusalem, here is your God.
I Myself will shepherd them,
for others have led them astray.
The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds
and pasture them, giving them rest.
for others have led them astray.
The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds
and pasture them, giving them rest.
Come unto Me
if you are heavily burdened,
And take My yoke up on your shoulders,
I will give you rest.
if you are heavily burdened,
And take My yoke up on your shoulders,
I will give you rest.
Once again, I'll be leading a Service of Word and Prayer on Sunday, May 3 at 11:00am on the Church's YouTube channel. You can find that here:
God be with you all and we'll see each other again soon.
