Head of the church, our risen Lord

Head of the church, our risen Lord
Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad,
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of our God.
2 But in the grace that rescued man
his brightest form of glory shines;
here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete;
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved and died;
her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Proper 22 Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 1:19 Used With Tune: NÜRNBERG

Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 553 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou Joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou light of all,
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn, unfilled, to heed thy call.
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 fountainhead
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.
Scripture: John 6:35-38 Used With Tune: NURNBERG Text Sources: Jesu dulcedo cordium, anonymous Latin poem
