Joy, Thou Goddess

Author: Friedrich Schiller, 1759-1805 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal Lyrics: 2 Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal, offspring of Elysium, mad with rapture, to the portal of thy holy fane we come! Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever, but thy magic joins again; humankind is one forever ‘neath thy mild and gentle reign. 2 Joy, in nature’s wide dominion, mightiest cause of all is found; and ‘tis joy that moves the pinion, when the wheel of time goes round; from the bud she lures the flower, suns from out their orbs of light; distant spheres obey her power, far beyond all mortal sight. --- GERMAN - 1 Freude, schóner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, wir betreten feuertrunken, himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Deine Zauber binden wieder, was die Mode streng geteilt, alle Menschen werden Brúder, wo dein sanfter Flúgel weilt. 2 Freude heiefst die starke Feder in der ewigen Natur. Freude, Freude treibt die Ráder in der grossen Weltenuhr. Blumen lockt sie ausden Keimen, Sonnen aus dem Firmament, Spháren rollt sie in den Raumen, die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt.

Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset C. Lowry, 1855-1932 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us hallows all our human race, you our head, who, throned in glory, for your own will ever plead: fill us with your love and pity, heal our wrong, and help our need. 2 As you, Lord, have lived for others, so may we for others live. Freely have your gifts been granted; freely may your servants give. Yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of land and sea; we but stewards of your bounty held in solemn trust will be. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of Love, and Prince of peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease. By your patient years of toiling, by your silent hours of pain, quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, source of life and truth and grace, Word made flesh, whose birth among us hallows all our human race: by your praying, by your willing that your people should be one, grant, oh, grant our hope’s fruition: here on earth your will be done.

Meet me now with Thy salvation, In the Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that, faith and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length. Amen. Topics: Confirmation; Names and Office of Christ Guard; Vows Of Confirmation Used With Tune: RIPLEY
