Jesus, the Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 559 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the joy of loving hearts,
true source of life, our lives sustain;
from the best bliss that earth imparts,
we turn unfilled to you again.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
you rescue those who on you call:
to those yet seeking, you are good;
to those who find you, all in all.
3 We taste of you, the living bread,
and long to feast upon you still.
We drink from you, the fountain-head,
our thirsty souls from you we fill.
4 Our restless spirits long for you,
however may our lot be cast,
glad when your gracious smile we view,
blessed when our faith can hold you fast.
5 Jesus, forever with us stay:
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away;
shed through the world your holy light. Topics: Eucharist; Eucharist; Yearning; Bread Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: Latin, 12th cent.

As Sons of the Day and Daughters of Light
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:8-23 Lyrics: 1 As sons of the day and daughters of light,
no longer we sleep like creatures of night,
for Jesus has died that with him we may live;
by all he has given we learn how to give.
2 One body in Christ, let all play their part:
the lazy be warned, the timid take heart;
let those who are hurt never pay back with wrong,
but serve one another: together be strong!
3 Be constant in prayer, at all time rejoice,
in all things give thanks--let God hear your voice!
Alive to the Spirit, alert to the word,
test all things, and hold to what pleases the Lord.
4 May God who first called, gave peace and made whole,
preserve us from fault in body and soul;
our Lord Jesus Christ keep us firm in his grace
until at his coming we meet face to face.
