Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Cheerfulness Lyrics: 1 Soul, adorn yourself with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, come into the daylight's splendor, there with joy your praises render. Bless the One whose grace unbounded this amazing banquet founded; he, though heav'nly, high, and holy, deigns to dwell with you most lowly. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet him, eagerly and gladly greet him. There he stands already knocking; quickly, now, your gate unlocking, open wide the fast-closed portal, saying to the Lord immortal: "Come, and leave your loved one never; dwell within my heart forever." 3 Now in faith I humbly ponder over this surpassing wonder that the bread of life is boundless though the souls it feeds are countless; with the choicest wine of heaven Christ's own blood to us is given. Oh, most glorious consolation, pledge and seal of my salvation. 4 Jesus, source of lasting pleasure, truest friend and dearest treasure, peace beyond all understanding, joy into all life expanding: humbly now, I bow before you, love incarnate, I adore you; worthily let me receive you, and, so favored, never leave you. Scripture: Revelation 19:7-9 Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH Text Sources: Rev. in Lutheran Book of Worship, 1878

As with gladness men of old

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 647 hymnals Topics: Cheerfulness Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. Amen. Used With Tune: DIX
