Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Author: Henry van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 267 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, Opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the gloom of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day. 2 All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Singing bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee. 3 Mortals, join the happy chorus Which the morning stars began; Love divine is reigning o’er us, Joining all in heaven's plan. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us With your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice; And with that have freely given Blessings countless as the sand To the unthankful and the evil With your own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you Gladly, freely, of your own. With the sunshine of your goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by you, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given To our humblest charity In your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all to me." Can it be, O gracious Master, That you deign for alms to sue, Saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings Which on ev'ry hand we view Channels are for gifts and off'rings Due by solemn right to you; Right of which we may not rob you, Debt we may not choose but pay, Lest that face of love and pity Turn from us another day. 4 Lord of glory, you have bought us With Your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on you: But, oh, best of all your graces, With your love our love renew.

Author: James Deck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lamb of God! Our souls adore Thee While upon Thy face we gaze; There the Father’s love and glory Shine in all their brightest rays; Thine almighty power and wisdom All creation’s works proclaim; Heaven and earth alike confess Thee As the ever great I AM. 2. Lamb of God! Thy Father’s bosom Ever was Thy dwelling place; His delight, in Him rejoicing, One with Him in power and grace; Oh, that wondrous love and mercy— Thou didst lay Thy glory by, And for us didst come from Heaven, As the Lamb of God, to die! 3. Lamb of God! When we behold Thee Lowly in the manger laid, Wandering as a homeless stranger In the world Thy hands had made; When we see Thee in the garden, In Thine agony of blood, At Thy grace we are confounded, Holy, spotless, Lamb of God! 4. When we see Thee, as the victim, Bound for us upon the tree, For our guilt and folly stricken, All our judgment born by Thee— Lord, we own, with hearts adoring, Thou hast loved us unto blood: Glory, glory everlasting, Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God! 5. Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory Will to this sad earth return; All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, All that now despise Thee mourn; Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee, With Thee in Thy kingdom reign; Thine the praise and Thine the glory, Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
