O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Anonymous; Rev. Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 571 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, Thou light of men, From fullest bliss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged has 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, 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, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast, Glad, that Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,722 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
