mf 1 JESUS, thou Joy of loving hearts!
Thou Fount of life! thou Light of men!
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to thee again.
m2 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.
mf
m 3 We taste thee, O thou living Bread,
And long to feast upon thee still;
We drink of thee, the Fountain-head,
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.
m 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay!
Make all our moments calm and bright; mf Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world thy holy light.
ƒ1 JESUS shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head ;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns: The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest;
And all the sons of want are blest.
f 5 Let every creature rise, and bring
Peculiar honours to our King,
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
mf 1 THEE we adore, eternal Lord!
We praise thy name with one accord;
Thy saints, who here thy goodness see,
Through all the world do worship thee.
ƒ2 To thee aloud all angels cry,
And ceaseless raise their songs on high,
Both cherubin and seraphin,
The heavens and all the powers therein.
m 3 The apostles join the glorious throng; mf The prophets swell the immortal song ; f The martyrs' noble army raise
Eternal anthems to thy praise.
pc 4 Thee, holy, holy, holy King!
mf Thee, the Lord God of hosts, they sing : f Thus earth below and heaven above
Resound thy glory and thy love.
m 1 FATHER of heaven! whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
? Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pardoning love extend.
m 2 Almighty Son! Incarnate Word!
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.
m 3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.
mf 4 Jehovah—Father, Spirit, Son—
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One!
Ρ Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life to us extend.
m 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
My sinful maladies remove;
Be thou my light, be thou my guide;
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to me display,
That I may know and choose my way;
Plant holy fear within mine heart,
That I from God may ne'er depart.
mf 3 Lead me to Christ, the living way,
Nor let me from his pastures stray;
Lead me to holiness, the road
That I must take to dwell with God.
4 Conduct me safe, conduct me far
From every sin and hurtful snare ;
Lead me to God, my final rest,
In his enjoyment to be blest.
mf 1 WE sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
m 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see,
In shining letters, God is love;
He bears our sins upon the tree,
He brings us mercy from above.
mf 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup;
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light;
