Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 565 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 29:13 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou Joy of loving hearts, thou Fount of life, thou Light of all, from the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to head thy call. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call; to them that seek thee thou art good, to them that 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 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever 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.

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,134 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence Faith sees a smiling face. 3 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. 4 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. 5 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and will break In blessings on your head.

Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast

Author: Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 705 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 29:13 Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve; Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know his courts: I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone, Without his sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps he will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can not perish if I go: I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die.
