HYMN No. 68: “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need” ...RESIGNATION
1. My Shepherd will supply my need; Jehovah is His name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream.
He brings my wandering spirit back, when I forsake His ways;
And leads me, for His mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and grace.
3. The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my abode, and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come;
No more a stranger, nor a guest, but like a child at home.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

OFFERTORY ANTHEM: “Be Still, My Soul” arr. Berg
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on your side. Bear patiently the
cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide; In every change He
faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; your best, your heavenly Friend through
thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future,
as in ages past.
Your hope your confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterious
shall be made bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know the Christ who
ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be
forever with the Lord!
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgot,
love’s purest joys restored!
Be still my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and
blessed we shall meet at last.
Be still, my soul: we shall meet Christ at last!
