Jesus, the Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer; Bernard of Clairvaux Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 570 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 17 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the joy of loving hearts,
fount of our lives, and light of all:
From every bliss that earth imparts
we turn, unfilled, to hear your call.
2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood;
you plead with all to call on you;
To those still seeking, you are good;
to those who find you, life is new.
3 We taste of you, the living bread,
and long to feast upon you still;
We drink of you, the fountain-head;
our thirsty souls from you we fill.
4 For you our restless spirits yearn,
where'er our changing lot is cast;
Glad, when your smile on us you turn,
blessed, when by faith we hold you fast.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments calm and bright!
Oh, chase the cloud of sin away!
Shed o'er the world your holy light. Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Used With Tune: HESPERUS (QUEBEC)

Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 246 hymnals Topics: Year C Christmas 1 Lyrics: 1 O God of love, O God of peace,
make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
2 Remember, God, your works of old,
the wonders that our people told;
Heal every malice, harm, and pain:
Give peace, O God, give peace again!
3 Whom shall we trust, O God, but you?
For you are constant, strong, and true.
None ever called on you in vain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again!

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year C Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage:
grace which, like the Lord the giver,
never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day;
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, if of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
all his boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure,
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
Glorious things of thee are spoken
In the cross of Christ I glory
Author: John Bowring (1792-1872) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,534 hymnals Topics: Proper 9 Year C Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time:
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me;
lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance streaming
adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o'er the wrecks of time:
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime. Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 Used With Tune: WYCHBOLD
In the cross of Christ I glory

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 920 hymnals Topics: Baptism of Christ Year C Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: LIEBSTER IMMANUEL
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885; J. M. Neale ; R. F. Littledale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 180 hymnals Topics: Proper 26 Year C Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture —
in the body and the blood —
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high. Scripture: Galatians 4:4 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St James
Let all mortal flesh keep silence

the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation;
with healing balm my soul he fills,
and every faithless murmur stills:
to God all praise and glory!
2 The Lord is never far away,
but, through all grief distressing,
an ever-present help and stay,
our peace and joy and blessing;
as with a mother's tender hand
he leads his own, his chosen band:
to God all praise and glory!
3 Thus all my gladsome way along
I sing aloud thy praises,
that all may hear the grateful song
my voice unwearied raises;
be joyful in the Lord, my heart;
both soul and body bear your part:
to God all praise and glory! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:35 Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
Sing praise to God who reigns above
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 597 hymnals Topics: Proper 19 Year C Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Isaiah 43:2 Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

when thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity:
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but in lowly birth didst thou come to earth,
and in great humility: [Refrain]
3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest
in the shade of the cedar tree;
but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,
in the desert of Galilee: [Refrain]
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn
they bore thee to Calvary: [Refrain]
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee:' [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 3:17 Used With Tune: MARGARET
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
