Lord of the Living Harvest
Joy in Sorrow
Author: Jane F. Crewdson Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: I've found a joy in sorrow Lyrics: 1. I’ve found a joy in sorrow,
a secret balm for pain,
A beautiful tomorrow
of sunshine after rain;
I’ve found a branch of healing
near every bitter spring;
A whispered promise stealing
o’er every broken string,
A whispered promise stealing
o’er every broken string.
2. I’ve found a glad hosanna
for every woe and wail;
A handful of sweet manna
when grapes of Eschol fail;
I’ve found a Rock of Ages
when desert wells are dry;
And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh,
And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh.
3. An Elim with its coolness,
its fountains, and its shade;
A blessing in its fullness,
when buds of promise fade;
O’er tears of soft contrition
I’ve seen a rainbow light,
A glory and fruition,
so near! yet out of sight,
A glory and fruition, so near!
yet out of sight.
4. My Savior, Thee possessing,
I have the joy, the balm,
The healing and the blessing,
the sunshine and the psalm;
The promise for the fearful,
the Elim for the faint,
The rainbow for the tearful,
the glory for the saint!
The rainbow for the tearful,
the glory for the saint! Used With Tune: CREWDSON Text Sources: A Little While, and Other Poems (Manchester, England: 1864)
Joy in Sorrow
O God, the Rock of Ages
Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, the Rock of Ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling-place serene;
Before Thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
To endless generations
The Everlasting Thou!
2. Our years are like the shadows
O'er sunny hills that fly,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die:
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3. O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail.
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blest. Topics: The Christian Life Refuge Used With Tune: REVELATION
