Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.3.4.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Jesus, Bread of Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Fount of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me. Ah, how long in anguish Shall my spirit languish, Yearning, Lord, for Thee? Thou art mine, O Lamb divine! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash And thunders crash; Yet, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great pow'r Guards ev'ry hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4 Hence, all earthly treasure! Jesus is my Pleasure, Jesus is my Choice. Hence, all empty glory! Naught to me thy story Told with tempting voice. Pain or loss, Or shame or cross, Shall not from my Savior move me Since He deigns to love me. 5 Evil world, I leave thee; Thou canst not deceive me, Thine appeal is vain. Sin that once did blind me, Get thee far behind me, Come not forth again. Past thy hour, O pride and pow'r; Sinful life, thy bonds I sever, Leave thee now forever. 6 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest Pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure! Scripture: Philippians 3:8-11 Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE Text Sources: Tr. composite

Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Bread of Life 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 Has this wondrous banquet founded. High o’er all the heavens 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; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I never more 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 Jesus, bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited. From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE
