Jesus, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage Lyrics: 1 Jesus, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round thy throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in thee confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead thine own
in the love of joys unknown.

O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
Author: William Turton, 1856-1938 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Holy Communion Lyrics: 1 O thou, who at thy Eucharist didst pray
That all thy Church might be for ever one,
Grant us at every Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul, 'Thy will be done.'
Oh, may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.
2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede;
Make thou our sad divisions soon to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace:
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.
3 We pray thee too for wanderers from thy fold;
O bring them back, good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep:
Soon may we all one Bread, one Body be,
One through this Sacrament of unity.
4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all thy church above,
One with thy saints in one unbroken peace,
One with thy saints in one unbounded love:
More blessèd still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in Unity. Used With Tune: SONG I

The God of love my shepherd is
Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 The God of love my shepherd is,
and he that doth me feed;
while he is mine and I am his,
what can I want or need?
2 He leads me to the tender grass,
where I both feed and rest;
then to the streams that gently pass:
in both I have the best.
3 Or if I stray, he doth convert,
and bring my mind in frame,
and all this not for my desert,
but for his holy name.
4 Yea, in death's shady black abode
well may I walk, not fear;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
to guide, thy staff to bear.
5 Surely thy sweet and wondrous love
shall measure all my days;
and, as it never shall remove,
so neither shall my praise. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY

Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever.

My ransomed soul he's leading,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feeding.
3 Confused and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me,
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight,
Your saving grace bestowing;
And, oh, what transport of delight
From your pure chalice flowing!
6 And so, through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within your house forever. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

and trembling to its source return,
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire,
and still stir up thy gift in me.

my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make my sacrifice complete.

For God has sent a glorious light;
and we who live in Christ's new day
must works of darkness put away.

and with the Spirit's power endued.
The light of life in us must glow,
and fruits of truth and goodness show.
3 Let in the light; all sin expose
to Christ, whose life no darkness knows.
Before his cross for guidance kneel;
his light will judge and, judging, heal.
4 Awake, and rise up from the dead,
and Christ his light on you will shed.
Its power will wrong desires destroy,
and your whole nature fill with joy.
5 Then sing for joy, and use each day;
give thanks for everything alway.
Lift up your hearts; with one accord
praise God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Used With Tune: GRENOBLE (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM)
