Jesus, the Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 562 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the joy of loving hearts, true source of life, our lives sustain; from the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to you again. 2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood; you rescue those who on you call: to those yet seeking, you are good; to those who find you, all in all. 3 We taste of you, the living bread, and long to feast upon you still. We drink from you, the fountain-head, our thirsty souls from you we fill. 4 Our restless spirits long for you, however may our lot be cast, glad when your gracious smile we view, blessed when our faith can hold you fast. 5 Jesus, forever with us stay: make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed through the world your holy light.

Jesu! – the very thought is sweet!

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu! -- the very thought is sweet! In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But sweeter than the honey far The glimpses of his presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss: No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesu! the hope of souls forlorn! How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, O how kind! But what art thou to them that find? 4 Jesu, thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, Light of souls distrest, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art. 6 *I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 7 *With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 8 *Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne; My heart hath also passed from me, That where he is there it may be. 9 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With him to gain the heavenly seat. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Holy Communion; The Circumcision of Christ January 1st Used With Tune: JESU DULCIS Text Sources: Latin, 12th century; The Rosy Sequence
