The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want;

For Your endless mercy follows me,
Your goodness will lead me home.

Thought for the Week
When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’ St. Matthew 9: 36-38
- ‘Human beings may dismiss compassion from their hearts, but God will never.’ William Cowper (Poet & Hymn writer)
