Blessing and honour and glory

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: God in Christ First Line: Blessing and honour and glory and power Lyrics: 1 Blessing and honour and glory and power, wisdom and riches and strength evermore give we to Christ who our battle has won, whose are the kingdom, the crown and the throne. 2 Past are the darkness, the storm and the war; come is the radiance that sparkles afar; now breaks the gleam of the day without end; rises the sun that shall never descend. 3 Sounds now the heaven of the heavens with Christ's name, rings now the earth with his glory and fame. Ocean and mountain, stream, forest and flower echoing praises, they tell of God's power. 4 Ever ascends holy love from on high; ever ascends this our song and our joy: blessing and honour and glory and praise— this is the theme of the hymns that we raise. 5 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb; take we the robe and the harp and the palm; sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain, dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Appears in 575 hymnals Topics: God in Christ Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts, thou fount, thou light for all to see: from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled again to thee. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call; to those who seek thee thou art good; to those who find thee, all in all. 3 We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountainhead, and thirst our souls from thee to fill. 4 For thee our restless spirits yearn where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest that our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesus, always with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light.

But the Shepherd made answer, "This of mine has wandered away from me, and although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep; I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever knew how deep were the waters crossed, nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through, ere he found his sheep that was lost. Out in the desert he heard its cry, sick and helpless and ready to die, sick and helpless and ready to die. 4 And all through the mountains, thunder-riven, and up from the rocky steep, there rose a glad cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice! I have found my sheep!" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own; rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own.
