Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 558 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts,
Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn unfilled to Thee again.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood,
Thou savest those that on Thee call;
To them that seek Thee, Thou art good,
To them that find Thee, all in all.
3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay,
Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

None ever called on thee in vain;

Faith Is a Living Pow'r
Author: Petrus Herbert (d. 1571) Appears in 73 hymnals First Line: Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Which grasps the promise God has giv'n;
Securely fixed on Christ alone,
A trust that cannot be o’erthrown.

To save and strengthen, guide and feed;
Strong in His grace it joys to share
His cross, in hope His crown to wear.
3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace;
And bids the mourner’s sighing cease;
By faith the children’s right we claim,
And call upon our Father's name.

And to our prayers Thy favor grant,
In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son,
Who is our fount of health alone.

By roads that wound uphill and down
Author: Louis F. Benson, 1855-1930 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By roads that wound uphill and down,
Beside the lake in Galilee,
From house to house, from town to town,
Our Lord fulfilled his ministry.
2 He healed the sick; he cured the blind;
He sought for those who went astray;
He told the lost that God is kind
And set them on the homeward way.
3 How blest the homes that knew him then;
And holy yet the paths he trod!
O gracious heart that loved allmen1
O patient feet that walked with God!
4 Lord Christ, forevermore, the same
In heaven as in Galilee,
Embolden us to name thy name,
To make our lives a ministry.
Amen.

Fill your weak spirit with alarm;

To save our souls from death and hell.

Not To Ourselves
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust,
Not to ourselves is glory due,
Eternal God, Thou only just,
Thou only gracious, wise and true.
2 Shine forth in all Thy dreadful name;
Why should a heathen’s haughty tongue
Insult us, and, to raise our shame,
Say, Where’s the God you’ve served so long?
3 The God we serve maintains His throne
Above the clouds, above the skies;
Through all the earth His will is done;
He knows our groans, He hears our cries.
4 But the vain idols they adore
Are senseless shapes of stone and wood;
At best a mass of glittering ore,
A silver saint or golden god.
5 With eyes and ears they carve their head;
Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind;
In vain are costly offerings made,
And vows are scattered in the wind.
6 Their feet were never made to move,
Nor hands to save when mortals pray;
Mortals that pay them fear or love
Seem to be blind and deaf as they.
7 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope,
Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest;
The Lord shall build thy ruins up,
And bless the people and the priest.
8 The dead can no more speak Thy praise,
They dwell in silence and the grave;
But we shall live to sing Thy grace,
And tell the world Thy power to save. Used With Tune: HESPERUS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Prayerful Desire
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: O Lord, make haste to hear my cry Lyrics: 1 O Lord, make haste to hear my cry,
To Thee I call, on Thee rely.
Incline to me a gracious ear,
And when I call, in mercy hear.
2 When in the morning unto Thee
I lift my voice and bring my plea,
Then let my prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned above the skies.
3 When unto Thee I look and pray
With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.
4 Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee implore,
And of my lips O keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my sinful heart to stray
Where evil footsteps lead the way.
5 O righteous God, Thy chastisement,
Though sent thro' foes, in love is sent;
Though grievous it will profit me,
A healing ointment it shall be.
6 While wickedness my foes devise,
To Thee my constant prayer shall rise;
When their injustice is o'erthrown
Mu gentleness shall still be shown.
7 Brought nigh to death and sore distressed,
O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest;
Forsake me not, I look to Thee,
Let me Thy great salvation see.
8 Themselves entangled in their snare,
Their own defeat my foes prepare;
O keep me, Lord, for let me fall,
Protect and lead me safe through all.
