Join We All with One Accord

Author: Matthew of Kunwald; Gabriel Komarovsky; Michael Weisse Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Join we all with one accord; praise we all our common Lord; for we all have heard his voice, all have made his will our choice. Join we with the saints of old, no more strangers in the fold, one the Shepherd who us sought, one the flock his blood has bought. 2 One our Master, one alone, none but Christ as Lord we own; "brethren of his law" are we — “As I loved you, so love ye.” Branches we in Christ, the Vine, living by his life divine; as the Father with the Son, so, in Christ, we all are one. 3 One the name in which we pray, one our Savior day by day; with one cup and with one bread thus one cov'nant way we tread. One in spirit, one in life, one amid earth’s frequent strife, one in faith and one in love, one in hope of heav'n above.

Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 542 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang When Creation was begun, When God spoke and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity, Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. 2 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ, Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. Amen. Topics: Adoration; Worship Adoration Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

Jesu, Name Of Sweetest Thought

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century; Alfred Edersheim, 1825-1889 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, name of sweetest thought, Name with every blessing fraught— But beyond all blessings here, Is Thy presence, Jesu, dear. 2 O Thou richest song of all, Sweetest sound that e’er can fall, Charmèd thought forever nigh— Jesu, Son of God, on high! 3 Hope of contrite hearts and meek, Jesu, near to them that seek— If to those who ask so kind, Lord, what is it Thee to find! 4 Jesu, joy of hearts, most bright, Spring of truth and inward light, Sweetest joy of Heaven above, Far exceeding human love. 5 Human speech it cannot say, Pen it cannot e’er portray, He who loves alone can sing What it means to Him to cling! 6 Shut thy door, my weary heart, Seek at night the better part— Day or night, where’er I be, Seeks my love Thy face to see. 7 Magdalene, in morning gray, Goes to see where Jesus lay— Longs my heart for vision bright, Longs my heart for better sight. 8 Fills my voice the empty tomb, Jesus is not in its gloom— Let me at His feet be cast, Holds my love the Risen fast. 9 Jesu, wondrous king art Thou! Victor-laurels deck Thy brow; Thou art altogether fair, Bliss in Thee beyond compare. 10 With us stay, Redeemer dear, On us shed Thy brightness here; Chase the darkness of the night, Fill the world with sweetest light! 11 For Thy blessèd presence, Lord, Gives the knowledge of Thy word; Fetters of the earth it breaks, Ardent love within awakes. 12 Love of Jesus, oh, how meet! Love of Jesus, oh, how sweet! Thousand times more glorious far, Than our highest praises are. 13 This Thy bitter passion shows, And the precious blood that flows— Gracious pardon now is sealed, And the Father’s face revealed. 14 Jesus, then, let all adore, Now let all His grace implore; Seek in Him to have your part— Seeking, love shall fill your heart. 15 Thus we feebly own the love Richly pourèd from above; Own, in grace, His precious grace, Haste to see His blessèd face. 16 Jesu, spring of pity high, Jesu, hope of every joy, Source of grace and glory bright, Thou of hearts the true delight! 17 Who may fully sing Thy praise? Faltering voices here we raise— Dare we, filled with joyous love, Mingle songs with saints above? 18 Oh, then, let me taste and see, Lord, Thy gracious love to me— Jesus, by Thy presence dear, Let me feel Thy glory here! 19 Jesu, Thy dilection, Sweetest heart’s reflection, Never satiates, ever fills, Longing meets but never stills. 20 They who eat will hunger more, Thirst anew who drank before— Oh, the longing luxury Of the heart that pants for Thee! 21 Wouldst the joy of Jesus know? Must thy heart in love o’erflow— Satisfied in Him, and blest, Finds the soul eternal rest. 22 Jesus, praise of angels high, Song of sweetest melody, Honey from the rock Thou art, Heavenly nectar in the heart. 23 Thousand times I long for Thee, Come, O Jesus, come to me; Gladden, Lord, my heart in grace, Satisfy me with Thy face! 24 Ever-flowing stream of love, Ever wafting hearts above— Love that sweetest fruit will bear, Fruit of life eternal there. 25 O Thou depth of love untold, Joy that e’er the heart doth hold, Sovereign mercy unsurpassed, Let Thy kindness hold me fast. 26 Yes, to love, it is most blest— Lord, Thyself my sole request; Let all vanish then and flee, Let me live, from hence, in Thee! 27 Thou art my eternal part, Hope of every praying heart— Inmost longing of the meek, Tears of penitence Thee seek! 28 Though I wander far and wide, Will I seek Thee by my side; Oh what joy to find Thee near! Oh what bliss to hold Thee here! 29 Fills the heart delight untold, Heavenly fellowship I hold; Could such joys forever last, All too quickly they are past! 30 What so long I asked, I see What I sought I have in Thee; And, while joying in Thy love, Long the more for Thee above. 31 Love which from Thy loving flows, Neither change nor end it knows, Fails not, loses not its glow, Evermore must brighter grow. 32 Love that fresh desire awakes, Meeting it most blessèd makes; Love, delighting, knows aright, Knowing, tastes of fresh delight. 33 Love which heavenly love imparts, Love which dwells in inmost hearts, Love which lightens up the mind, Pleasure true alone can find. 34 Oh what sweet and holy fire, Oh what ardent, blest desire, Oh what rich reflection, Loving Thee, eternal Son! 35 Blossom of the virgin womb, Heavenly light in earthly gloom; Humbled once, to glory raised, And in songs eternal praised! 36 Come, oh come, most glorious King, Thou, whose praises angels sing; Ever longs our soul for Thee, Help us clearer now to see! 37 Brighter than the sunlight calm, Fragrant more than sweetest balm; Better Thou, more precious, dear, Than our broken pleasures here. 38 Every sense and taste is filled, Every yearning, Lord, is stilled Thou alone canst be the part, Jesu, of each loving heart. 39 Thou, heart’s delectation, Thou, love’s consummation, Thou, best consolation, Jesu, our salvation! 40 Thou hast conquered, glorious, And returned victorious; Yet though now enthroned on high, Ever Thou to us art nigh! 41 Art Thou risen, and reign’st above? I am bound to Thee in love; Never art Thou far from me— Gracious Lord, I follow Thee! 42 Heavenly denizens draw nigh, Lift the jeweled gates on high, And to Christ triumphant sing: Jesus, hail! of glory King! 43 King of glory, King of might, King of victory most bright; Blessèd Jesu, full of grace, Image of the Father’s face— 44 Thou, the Truth, the Life, the Way— Thou, the Sun of endless day, Chase our sorrow’s darksome night, Pouring down Thy glorious light! 45 Praise the Lord, thou heavenly choir, Answer, thou seraphic lyre, While a joyous, ransomed earth Sings the story of her birth. 46 Reign, O Lord! in peace most blest— Reign in sweet, unbroken rest; Ah! how longs each weary heart There to have its joyous part. 47 To the Father gone art Thou, Entered Heaven’s glory now; And my heart is gone from me, Bound, O Christ, in love to Thee! 48 Lord, we follow with our praise— Vows, and prayers, and hymns we raise; Grant, O Christ, eternally There to dwell in light with Thee!

Lord, Have Mercy When We Pray

Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, have mercy when we pray, Strength to seek a better way; When our wakening thoughts begin First to loathe their cherished sin; When the earliest gleam is giv’n, Of the bright but distant Heav’n, Then Thy fostering grace afford, Then, oh, then! Have mercy, Lord. 2 Lord, have mercy when we know First how vain this world below; When its darker thoughts oppress, Doubts perplex, and fears distress; Sigh for death, yet fear it still, From the dread of future ill; When the dim, advancing gloom Tells us that our hour is come. 3 Lord, have mercy when we lie On the restless bed, and sigh— When our weary spirits fail, And our aching brows are pale; When all other hope is gone, When our course is almost done, When is loosed the silver cord— Then, oh, then! have mercy, Lord.
