Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 563 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts, Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of all, From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn, unfilled, to heed Thy call. 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 Fountainhead, 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; O chase the night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 823 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:16 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes, The Saviour promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song. 2 He comes the prisoner to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes, from thickest films of vice, To clear the mental ray, And on the eyes long closed in night To pour celestial day. 4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And, with the treasures of his grace, Enrich the humble poor. 5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name.

Ye Sons of Men with Joy record

Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107:31 Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Men with Joy record The various Wonders of the Lord; And let his Pow'r and Goodness sound Thro' all your Tribes the World around. 2 Let the high Heav'ns your Songs invite, Those spacious Fields of brilliant Light; Where Sun, and Moon, and Planets roll, And Stars, that shine from Pole to Pole. 3 Sing, Earth, in verdant Robes array'd, Its Herbs and Flow'rs, its Fruit and Shade; Peopled with Life of various Forms, Fishes and Fowls, and Beasts and Worms. 4 View the broad Sea's majestic Plains, And think how wide its Maker reigns; That Band remotest Nations joins, And on each Wave his Goodness shines. 5 But, O that brighter World above, Where lives and reigns incarnate Love! GOD's only Son in Flesh array'd, For Man a bleeding Victim made. 6 Thither, my Soul, with Rapture soar; There in the Land of Praise adore; The Theme demands an Angel's Tongue, Demands a never-ending Song.

How are thy servants blest, O Lord!

Author: Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 107 Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defense! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore; We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, while thou preservest that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be out lot, Shall join our souls to thee.
