Deck Thyself, My Soul, With Gladness

Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Franck Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #48 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1. Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness. Come thou forth and cease repining, In the daylight's splendor shining, For the Lord of our salvation Doth regard thy lowly station. He in highest heaven reigneth, Yet to be thy Guest He deigneth. 2. Hasten as His bride, to meet Him And with loving rev'rence greet Him, Who with words of life immortal Knocketh at Thy spirit's portal. Open thou the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him: Come, in homage let me kiss Thee, That no longer I may miss Thee. 3. Ah, how hungry is my spirit For the grace I do not merit! Ah, how oft, when sorrows tire, Doth my soul this food desire! In the battle well nigh worsted, For this cup of life I thirsted, Wanting Him Who here invites me And as God with God unites me. 4. Now with joy and yet with wonder On this feast my soul doth ponder; For the mystery unbounded, Which no reason e'er hath sounded, Lets me witness at this hour, Lord, the greatness of Thy power; Quite beyond all human telling Is the pow'r within Thee dwelling. 5 All our reason cannot measure, Lord, the secret of this treasure Never growing less, though feeding All who for Thy grace are pleading With Thy flesh and blood from heaven When the bread and wine are given. Oh, these mysteries unbounded Are by God alone expounded. 6 Jesus, Sun of joy and gladness, Light to banish all my sadness, Love that gifts on me bestoweth, Fount whence all my being floweth, Here I humbly kneel before Thee And for worthiness implore Thee, To receive that bread from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 7 Thou by fervent love wast driven, Lord, to leave Thy throne in heaven, Willingly for us to languish On the cross in bitter anguish, To forego all joy and gladness And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we now in truth are drinking, While of Thee, our Savior, thinking. 8 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee: Never to my hurt invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, Thy love's unbounded treasure; When at last my senses leave me, As Thy guest in heaven receive me.
