Joyful would we appear;
Within thy earthly temple meet,
To see thy glory here.
2 We come to worship thee,
For thou art God alone;
In humble prayer to bend the knee,
Before thy holy throne.
3 Thy word is our delight,
Thy truth will make us free;
'Tis from thyself a heavenly light,
It leads our souls to thee.
4 Thy goodness we behold,
While in thy presence, Lord'
Thy wond'rous truth and love unfold,
The treasures of thy word.

Our souls are bless'd with good;
Thou wilt to waiting minds be near,
And give thy children food!

To thee, the God of love;
With pleasure walk in all thy ways,
Till we shall meet above. Languages: English

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: G. F. Handel Composer of "ST. THOMAS" in The Brethren Hymnal George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”
