Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts
Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 554 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts,
thou light of life, thou fount of grace:

we turn unfilled to seek thy face.

thou savest those that on thee call:
to those that seek thee thou art good,
to those that find thee, all in all.

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.
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. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Longing Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: 12th century

O Christ, Our True and Only Light
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:79 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Enlighten those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze
And all whom in their secret minds
Some dark delusion haunts and blinds.
3 Oh, gently call those gone astray
That they may find the saving way!
Let ev'ry conscience sore opprest
In Thee find peace and heav'nly rest.
4 Oh, make the deaf to hear Thy Word
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold.
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart,
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S

who comes to set us free;
who visits and redeems us,
with love for all to see.
The prophets spoke of mercy,
of rescue and release:
God shall fulfill his promise
and bring his people peace.
2 He comes! the Child of David,
the Son whom God has given;
he comes to live among us
and raise us up to heaven:
before him goes his servant —
forerunner in the way,
the prophet of salvation,
the herald of the Day.
3 Where once were fear and darkness,
the sun begins to rise —
the dawning of forgiveness
upon the sinner's eyes.

along the paths of peace:
