Jesus, Thou Joy of loving hearts!

Author: St. Bernard of Clairvaux; Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 559 hymnals Lyrics: 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. 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. We taste thee, O thou living Bread! And long to feast upon thee still; We drink of thee, the Fountain Head, And thirst from thee our souls to fill! 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 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: Holy Communion Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD

Author: Ambrose of Milan; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Jesu, the virgins' crown, do Thou Lyrics: 1. Jesu, the virgins’ crown, do Thou Accept us as in prayer we bow, Born of that virgin whom alone The mother and the maid we own. 2. Amongst the lilies Thou dost feed, And thither choirs of virgins lead, Adorning all Thy chosen brides With glorious gifts Thy love provides. 3. And whither, Lord, Thy footsteps wend, The virgins still with praise attend; For Thee they pour their sweetest song, And after Thee rejoicing throng. 4. O gracious Lord, we Thee implore Thy grace on every sense to pour; From all pollution keep us free, And make us pure in heart for Thee. 5. All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whom with the Spirit we adore For ever and for evermore. Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD (Monk)

Dear Lord, on This Thy Servant's Day

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Dear Lord, on this Thy servant’s day, Who left for Thee the gold and mart, Who heard Thee whisper, Come away, And followed with a single heart, 2. Give us, amid earth’s weary moil, And wealth for which men cark and care, ’Mid fortune’s pride, and need’s wild toil, And broken hearts in purple rare, 3. Give us Thy grace to rise above The glare of this world’s smelting fires; Let God’s great love put out the love Of gold, and gain, and low desires. 4. Still, like a breath from scented lime Borne into rooms where sick men faint, His voice comes floating through all time, Thine own evangelist and saint. 5. Still sweetly rings the Gospel strain Of golden store that knows not rust: The love of Christ is more than gain, And heavenly crowns than yellow dust. Used With Tune: ST.
