Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #310 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Year Written: 1849 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the mind recall
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
O Savior of us all.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize will be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity.

Let All the World Rejoice
Author: John Hunt Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #8 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Year Written: 1853 Lyrics: 1 Let all the world rejoice,
the Lord almighty reigns;
the thunders are his voice,
our life his will ordains:
unequalled, sov'reign and alone
in majesty he fills his throne.
2 Glad was the angel throng
to see his might prevail;
they sang their joyful song
the universe to hail;
while yet in radiant youth it stood,
th'eternal Word pronounced it good.
3 The heav'ns and earth he made
by his prevailing might;
his eye all things surveyed,
he scattered ancient night,
and heav'n and earth and sky and sea
proclaimed his glorious majesty.
4 But this fair world shall die,
the creature of a day,
in cooling ashes lie,
its glory passed away;
the pride and glory of the earth
shall be as ere they had their birth.
5 Yet ever fixed the throne
of the eternal One
shall stand when earth is gone,
and time its race has run.
New worlds his power can make at will,
new creatures can his praise fulfill.
6 The outskirts of his ways
appear to mortal sight;
the fullness of his praise
exceeds an angel's flight;
but here is truth all truth above:
mortals may bless immortal love. Topics: World, End of; In The Beginning Creator of Heaven and Earth Scripture: Genesis 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST CHURCH

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #279 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Year Written: 1854 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands,
for our offenses given;
but now at God's right hand he stands
and brings us life from heaven;
therefore let us joyful be
and sing to God right thankfully
loud songs of hallelujah. Hallelujah!
2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended;
the victory remained with life,
the reign of death was ended;
Holy Scripture plainly saith
that death is swallowed up by death,
his sting is lost forever. Hallelujah!
3 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
whom God so freely gave us;
he died on the accursed tree -
So strong his love! — to save us.
See, his blood doth mark our door;
faith points to it, death passes o'er,
and Satan cannot harm us. Hallelujah!
4 So let us keep the festival
whereto the Lord invites us;
Christ is himself the Joy of all,
the Sun that warms and lights us.
By his grace he doth impart
eternal sunshine to the heart;
the night of sin is ended. Hallelujah!
5 Then let us feast this joyful day
on Christ, the Bread of heaven;
the Word of grace hath purged away
the old and evil leaven.
Christ alone our souls will feed,
he is our meat and drink indeed;
faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah!

go with the shepherds and draw near

Here, O Our Lord, We See You Face to Face
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #520 (1990) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Year Written: 1855 Lyrics: 1 Here, O our Lord, I see Thee face to face,
Here would we touch and handle things unseen,
Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
And all our weariness upon You lean.
2 We have no help but Yours, nor do we need
Another arm save Yours to lean upon.
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
Our strength is in Your might, Your might alone.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heavenly table for us spread;
Here let us feast and, feasting, still prolong
The fellowship of living wine and bread.
4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear.
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
The bread and wine remove; but You art here,
Nearer than ever, still our Shield and Sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;
Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

All glory unto God ascribe,
Come, throng the courts, and offerings bring.

did the guiding star behold;
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious God, may we
evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly cradle bed,
there to bend the knee before
him whom heav'n and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that cradle rude and bare;
so may we with holy joy,
pure, and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heav'nly King.
4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day
keep us in the narrow way;
and when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed souls at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heav'nly country bright
need they no created light;
thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King.

Their deathless strain;

And evening shadows never fall,
Where Thou, eternal Light of Light,
Art Lord of all.

Thou Dost Reign on High
Author: Emily E.S. Elliott Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #241 (1990) Meter: Irregular Year Written: 1864 First Line: Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou dost reign on high with a kingly crown,
yet thou camest to earth for me,
and in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but of lowly birth didst thou come to earth,
and in great humility:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for thee.
3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest,
in the shade of the forest tree;
but thy couch was the sod,
O thou Son of God, in the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
there is room in my heart for thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
they bore thee to Calvary:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
thy cross is my only plea.
5 When heav'n's arches shall ring,
and her choirs shall sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home,
saying, "Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee."
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
when thou comest and callest for me.

O Lord, thy faithful people cry with one accord:
ride on in triumph; Lord, behold,
we lay our passions, lusts, and proud wills in thy way.
2 Thy road is ready, and thy paths,
made straight, with longing expectations seem to wait
the consecration of thy beauteous feet,
and silently thy promised advent greet.
3 Hosanna! welcome to our hearts,
for here thou hast a temple too, as Zion dear;
yes, dear as Zion, and as full of sin;
how long shall theives and robbers dwell therein?
4 Enter and chase them forth,
and cleanse the floor; o'erthrow them all, that they
may nevermore profane with traffic vile that holy place
where thou hast chosen, Lord, to set thy face.
5 And then, if our stiff tongues shall faithlessly
be mute in praises of thy deity,
the very temple stones shall loud repeat
Hosanna! and thy glorious footsteps greet.

"Who will go and work today?
Fields are white, and harvests waiting;
who will bear the sheaves away?"
Loud and long the Master calleth,
rich reward he offers free;
who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I; send me, send me."
2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
and the heathen lands explore,
you can find the heathen nearer,
you can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
you can give the widow's mite;
and the least you give for Jesus
will be precious in his sight.
3 If you cannot be a watchman,
standing high on Zion's wall,
pointing out the path to heaven,
off'ring life and peace to all,
with your pray'rs and with your bounties
you can do what God demands;
you can be like faithful Aaron,
holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while the sons of men are dying,
and the Master calls for you:
take the task he gives you gladly,
let his work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when he calleth,
"Here am I; send me, send me."

There Were Ninety and Nine
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #187 (1990) Meter: Irregular Year Written: 1868 First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay
in the shelter of the fold,
but one was out on the hills away,
far off from the gates of gold —
away on the mountains wild and bare,
away from the tender Shepherd's care,
away from the tender Shepherd's care.
2 "Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine;
are they not enough for thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer:
"This of mine has wandered away from me,
and although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep."
3 But none of the ransomed ever knew
how deep were the waters crossed;
nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thro'
ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert he heard its cry —
sick and helpless, and ready to die,
sick and helpless, and ready to die.
4 "Lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way
that mark out the mountain's track?"
"They were shed for one who had gone astray
ere the Shepherd could bring him back."
"Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and torn?"
"They're pierced tonight by many a thorn,
they're pierced tonight by many a thorn."
5 But all thro' the mountains, thunder-riv'n,
and up from the rocky steep,
there arose a glad cry to the gate of heav'n,
"Rejoice! I have found my sheep!"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!"

3 O Wisdom ord'ring all things

what nobler spoil was ever

What wiser master-builder

to trust your hidden pow'r:

the wrath of man can bind,
and in your boldest foeman
your chosen saint can find.

I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noon-tide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me:
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess,
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place:
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss;
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.
