Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Author: Henry van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 275 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33 Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love! Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day. 2 All thy works with joy surround thee; earth and heaven reflect thy rays; stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee. 3 Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morning stars began. Love divine is reigning o'er us, joining all in heaven's plan. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife. Joyful music leads us sunward in the triumph song of life.

And will he write his name My Father and my Friend? I love his name, I love his word; join, all my powers, and praise the Lord.

If You Will Only Let God Guide You

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 33:20 Lyrics: 1. If you will only let God guide you, And hope in Him thro' all your ways, Whatever comes, He'll stand beside you, To bear you thro' the evil days; Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move. 2. Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er the Father's pleasure And all discerning love have sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 3. Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways, But do your part in conscience true; Trust His rich promises of grace, So shall they be fulfilled in you; God hears the callof those in need, The souls that trust in Him indeed.
