Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
Author: Henry Van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 284 hymnals Topics: Joy Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the gloom of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
2 All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays;
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
call us to rejoice in thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ, our brother,
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.

The head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854/5 Appears in 530 hymnals Topics: Joy Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal Light;
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below
to whom he manifests his love
and grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given,
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with the Lord below;
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,

When I am sad, to Him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad,
He's my friend.

My friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I'll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When He's so true to me?
Following Him I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night,
He's my friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He's my friend. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Used With Tune: ALL THE WORLD

He prayed, "Not My will, but Thine;"

But sweatdrops of blood for mine. (Refrain)

He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
And suffered and died alone. (Refrain)

'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me. (Refrain)

Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God;
from death to life eternal,
from earth unto the sky,
our God hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection-light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear so calm and plain
his own 'All hail', and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
and earth her song begin,
the round world keep high triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord is risen,
our joy that hath no end. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,020 hymnals Topics: Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view,
I'm lost in wonder, love and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in such slipp'ery paths I ran
in childhood's careless days,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
to walk in adult ways.
4 When worn with sickness oft hast thou
with health renewed my face;
and when in sins and sorrows sunk,
revived my soul with grace.
5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
6 Through ev'ry period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
7 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O! eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Used With Tune: BELGRAVE
When all thy mercies, O my God

more love to thee, more love to thee!
