Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 553 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:9 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 heed 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. O chase the night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: Discipleship; Eucharist; Faith; Joy; Light; Lord's Supper; Salvation; Sin; Communion Used With Tune: QUEBEC

Fountain opened

Author: Cowper Appears in 2,467 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:9 First Line: There is a Fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a Fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see That fountain in his day; O may I there, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransom'd church of God Be sav'd, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 But when this lisping, stamm'ring tongue, Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save.

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than in God's heaven: there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgment given. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of the mind: and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives be filled with glory from the glory of the Lord.

Cast each false idol from its throne, The Lord is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory.
