Jesus, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 28 hymnals First Line: Jesu, joy of man's desiring Lyrics: 1 Jesus, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round thy throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in thee confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead thine own
in the love of joys unknown.

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith E. M. Reed Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, Infant lowly,
for His bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the Babe is Lord of all,
Christ the Babe is Lord of all.
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the Babe was born for you.
Christ the Babe was born for you. Topics: Jesus Our Savior : His Birth Used With Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY Text Sources: Polish carol

Christ, the Life of All the Living
Author: E. C. Homburg, 1605-81 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living,
Christ, the Death of death, our foe,
Who, Thyself for me once giving
To the darkest depths of woe--
Through thy suff'rings, death, and merit
I eternal life inherit:
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
2 Thou, ah, Thou, hast taken on Thee
Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod;
Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee,
0 Thou sinless Son of God!
Thus didst Thou my soul deliver
From the bonds of sin forever.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
3 Thou hast borne the smiting only
That my wounds might all be whole;
Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely,
Rest to give my weary soul;
Yea, the curse of God enduring,
Blessing unto me securing.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee,
Treating Thee with shameful scorn,
And with piercing thorns they crowned Thee.
All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne
That as Thine Thou mightest own me
And with heavenly glory crown me.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee
That from pain I might be free;
Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee--
Thence I gain security;
Comfortless Thy soul did languish
Me to comfort in my anguish.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
6 Thou hast suffered great affliction
And hast borne it patiently,
Even death by crucifixion,
Fully to atone for me;
Thou didst choose to be tormented
That my doom should be prevented.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon,
For Thy sorrows deep and sore,
For Thine anguish in the Garden,
I will thank Thee evermore,
Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing,
For Thy bleeding and Thy dying,
For that last triumphant cry,
And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

Can You Count the Stars?
Author: Wilhelm Hey (1789-1854); H. W. Dulcken; Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: Can you count the stars that brightly Lyrics: 1 Can you count the stars that brightly
Twinkle in the midnight sky?
Can you count the clouds, so lightly
O’er the meadows floating by?
God, the Lord, doth mark their number
With His eyes that never slumber;
He hath made them every one,
He hath made them every one.
2 Can you count the wings now flashing
In the sunshine’s golden light?
Can you count the fishes splashing
In the cooling waters bright?
God, the Lord, a name hath given,
To all creatures under heaven;
He hath named them every one,
He hath named them every one.
3 Do you know how many children
Rise each morning blithe and gay?
Can you count their jolly voices,
Singing sweetly day by day?
God hears all the happy voices,
In their merry songs rejoices;
And He loves them, every one,
And He loves them, every one. Topics: God the Father Power of God in Nature Used With Tune: [Can you count the stars that brightly]

Christ Is Risen
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1
Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of
days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is
amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree
has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of
love unknown.
2
Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns
of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love
can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a
friend.
Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall
never end.
3
Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be
the same.
Break the bread of new creation where the world is
still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get
you gone!”
God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna
everyone!

That are shining in the sky?
Can you count the clouds that daily
Over all the world go by?

Keepeth all the boundless number:
But He careth more for thee,
But He careth more for thee.
2 Can you count the birds that warble
In the sunshine all the day?
Can you count the little fishes
That in sparkling waters play?
God the Lord their number knoweth,
For each one His care He showeth:
Shall He not remember thee?
Shall He not remember thee?
3 Can you count the many children
In their little beds at night,
Who without a thought of sorrow
Rise again at morning light?
God the Lord, who dwells in heaven,
Loving care to each has given:
He has not forgotten thee,
He has not forgotten thee. Topics: Book Three: Children's Hymns and Songs Scripture: Job 26:7 Used With Tune: STERNENZAHL

All men Living Are But Mortal
Author: Johann G. Albinus; Catherine Winkworth; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal,
Yea, all flesh must fade as grass;
Only thro' death’s gloomy portal
To eternal life we pass.
This frail body here must perish
Ere the heav’nly love joys it cherish,
Ere it gain the free reward
For the ransomed of the Lord.
2 Therefore, when my God doth choose it,
Willingly I’ll yield my life
Nor will grieve that I should lose it,
For with sorrows it was rife.
In my dear Redeemer’s merit
Peace hath found my troubled spirit,
And in death my comfort this:
Jesus’ death my source of bliss.
3 Jesus for my sake descended
My salvation to obtain;
Death and hell for me are ended,
Peace and hope are now my gain;
Yea, with joy I leave earth’s sadness
For the home of heav’nly gladness,
Where I shall forever see
God, the Holy Trinity.
4 There is joy beyond our telling,
Where so many saints have gone;
Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling,
Worshiping before the throne,
There the seraphim are shining,
Evermore in chorus joining:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Triune God, for aye adored!"
5 Patriarchs of sacred story
And the prophets there are found;
The apostles, too, in glory
On twelve seats are there enthroned.
All the saints that have ascended
Age on age, through time extended,
There in blissful concert sing
Hallelujahs to their King.
6 O Jerusalem, how glorious
Dost thou shine, thou city fair!
Lo, I hear the tones victorious
Ever sweetly sounding there.
Oh, the bliss that there surprises!
Lo, the sun of morn now rises,
And the breaking day I see
That shall never end for me.
7 Yea, I see what here was told me,
See that wondrous glory shine,
Feel the spotless robes enfold me,
Know a golden crown is mine.
Thus before the throne so glorious
Now I stand a soul victorious,
Gazing on that joy for aye
That shall never pass away.
