Jesus, the very thought is sweet

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #154 (1913) Topics: Love to God and the Savior Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But O, than the honey sweeter far, The glimpses of His presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that that mourn! To them that seek Thee, O how kind! But what art Thou to them that find? 4 Jesus, Thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No pen can write its blessedness: He only who hath proved it knows What bliss from love of Jesus flows. 6 O Jesus, King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! 7 Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. 8 I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 9 With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For Him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 10 Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne: My heart hath also passed from me, That where He is there it may be. 11 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With Him to gain the heavenly seat.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #393 (1870) Topics: Love To God Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 2 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

Thou hidden Love of God, whose height

Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt; Gerhard Tersteegen Hymnal: Church Book #409 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Life Love to God and Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows: I see from far Thy beauteous light; Inly I sigh for Thy repose. My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it finds rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun, That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee. 3 Each moment draw from earth away, My heart, that lowly waits Thy call; Speak to my inmost soul, and say, "I am Thy Love, Thy God, Thy All!" To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy Love, be all my choice. Languages: English Tune Title: LAMBERT

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-75 Hymnal: Together in Song #454 (1999) Topics: Our Love to God Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay your burden of carefulness, high on his heart he will bear it for you, comfort your sorrows, and answer your prayerfulness, guiding your steps in the way best for you. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth you would reckon to own: truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to bring to his throne. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, bow down before him, his glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness, bring, and adore him: the Lord is his name.

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #54 (1917) Topics: Love To God Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, His throne is built on high; The garments He assumes Are light and majesty: His glories shine with beams so bright, No mortal eye can bear the sight. 2 The thunders of His hand Keep the wide world in awe; His wrath and justice stand To guard His holy law; And where His love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace. 3 Through all His mighty works Amazing wisdom shines; Confounds the powers of hell, And breaks their dark designs; Strong is His arm and shall fulfil His great decrees and sovereign will. 4 And will this sovereign King Of glory condescend? And will He write His name, My Father and my Friend? I love His name, I love His word: Join all my powers to praise the Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GODRIC
