Jesus! the very thought of Thee

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: CBWM1872 #224 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Bernard of Clairvaux Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the very thought of Thee With sweetness fills the breast; But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name, O Saviour of mankind! 3 O Hope of every contrite heart, O Joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? ah, this Nor tongue nor pen can show; The Love of Jesus, what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou! As Thou our Prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our Glory now, And through eternity!

King most wonderful, Thou Conqueror renowned; Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found! 2 When once Thou visited the heart, Then truth begins to shine: Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love divine. 3 O Jesus, Light of all below! Thou Fount of life and fire! Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire,-- 4 May every heart confess Thy Name, And ever Thee adore; And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee ore and more. 5 Thee may our tongues forever bless; Thee may we love alone; And ever in our lives express The image of Thine own.

Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts!

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Ray Palmer Hymnal: CBWM1872 #336 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Bernard of Clairvaux Lyrics: 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. 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 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, that Thy gracious smile we see, Blest that 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.

Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #586 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Person Name: Bernard de Morlaix Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The Life that knows no ending, The tearless Life, is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 That we should look, poor wanderers, To have our Home on high! The worms should seek for dwellings Beyond the starry sky! And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 3 For thee, O dear, dear Country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep: The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. 4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower: Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 5 There glory yet unheard of Shall shed abroad its ray, Resolving all enigmas, An endless Sabbath day. There God, our King and Portion, In fulness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face!

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #587 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Person Name: Bernard de Morlaix Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest: I know not, O I know not, What social joys are there! What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 And when I fain would sing them My spirit fails and faints, And vainly would it image The assembly of the saints. They stand, those halls of Zion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng: 3 There is the Throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white!

Jerusalem the glorious!

Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #588 (1890) Person Name: Bernard de Morlaix Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the glorious! The glory of the elect! O dear and future vision That eager hearts expect: Even now by faith I see thee: Even here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, And strive, and pant, and yearn. 2 Jerusalem the only, That look'st from heaven below, In thee is all my glory; In me is all my woe! And though my body may not, My spirit seeks thee fain, Till flesh and earth return me To earth and flesh again. 3 O land that seest no sorrow! O state that fear'st no strife! O princely land of glory! O realm and home of life! Exult, O dust and ashes, The Lord shall be thy part: His only, His for ever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CBWM1872 #105 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Horatius Bonar Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be, When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him, my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of life I’ll walk, Till traveling days are done.

I was a wandering sheep

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CBWM1872 #107 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Person Name: Horatius Bonar Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild: They found me nigh to death, Famished, and faint, and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His Blood, 'Twas He that made me whole. 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold! I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love His home.

I lay my sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CBWM1872 #368 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Person Name: Horatius Bonar Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us From the accurséd load. I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White, in His Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child; I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song.
