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.

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.
