Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness

Author: C. Winkworth; J. Franck Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #253 (1918) Person Name: C. Winkworth Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the daylight’s splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded, Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o’er all the heav’ns He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him; For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal: Haste to ope the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3 Ah, how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us, And to God Himself unites us. 4 Now I sink before Thee lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On Thy mighty work I ponder; How, by mystery surrounded, Depths no man hath ever sounded, None may dare to pierce unbidden, Secrets that with Thee are hidden. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth,-- At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blesséd food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee: Never to my heart invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep it’s treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me, As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Wilhelm II, 1598-1662 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #253 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now; Our hearts in true devotion bow. Your Spirit send with light divine, And let your truth within us shine. 2 Unseal our lips to sing your praise In endless hymns through all our days; Increase our faith and light our minds; And set us free from doubt that blinds. 3 Then shall we join the hosts that cry, "O holy, holy Lord Most High!" And in the light of that blest place We then shall see you face to face. 4 All glory to the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! To you, O blessed Trinity, Be praise throughout eternity!
