Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-87 Appears in 566 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, 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 Jesu, 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.

O Thou Whose All Redeeming Might

Author: Richard M. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou whose all redeeming might Crowns every chief in faith’s true fight, On this commemoration day Hear us, good Jesu, while we pray. 2. In faithful strife for Thy dear name Thy servant earned the saintly fame, Which pious hearts with praise revere In constant memory year by year. 3. Earth’s fleeting joys he counted naught, For higher, truer joys he sought, And now, with angels round the Thy throne, Unfading treasures are his own. 4. O grant that we, most gracious God, May follow in the steps he trod; And, freed from every stain of sin, As he hath won may also win. 5. To Thee, O Christ, our loving king, All glory, praise, and thanks we bring; Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost forevermore.
