Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts!

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, d. 1153; Ray Palmer Appears in 558 hymnals 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, 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. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: GERMANY

All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! 3 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless, to this high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there!

My faith looks up to Thee

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 2,205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away, O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll; Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: FAITH

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. Amen.

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a Friend like Thee, A Friend to soothe and pity, A Friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble And all my sorrows share. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone; Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: MARTYN

O Light, Whose beams illumine all

Thy joy supreme, what words can paint? In earth's last hour of fleeting breath Be Thou our conqueror over death. 5 O Light, O Way, O Truth, O Life, O Jesu, born mankind to save, Give Thou Thy peace in deadliest strife, Shed Thou Thy calm on stormiest wave; Be Thou our hope, our joy, our Head, Lord of the living and the dead.
