Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Author: Henry van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Faith Journey Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore you,
God of glory, life and love;
hearts unfold like flowers before you,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive our fear and doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.
2 All your works with joy surround you,
earth and heaven reflect your rays,
stars and angels sing around you,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
sound their praise eternally.
3 You are giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Source of grace and fount of blessing,
let your light upon us shine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus
which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o'er us,
joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music lifts us sunward
in the triumph song of life. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Topics: Journey First Line: I sing the mighty pow'r of God Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty pow'r of God
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.

The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God's command
And all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord
That filled the earth with food;
That formed creation with a word,
And then pronounced it good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed
Where'er I turn my eye;
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!
3 There's not a plant or flow'r below
But makes your glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from your throne;
While all that borrows life from you
Is ever in your care,
And ev'rywhere that I may be,
O God, be present there. Scripture: Genesis 1:12 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Journey to the Cross Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love for me:
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
But who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
2 He came from heaven’s throne
salvation to bestow.
But they refused, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
This is my friend,
my friend indeed,
who at my need his life did spend.
3 Sometimes they crowd his way
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then “crucify”
is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
4 With angry shouts they have
my savior done away.
A murderer they save,
the Source of Life they slay!
Yet willingly
he bears the shame
that through his name all might be free.
5 In life, no house, no home
the Christ on earth might have.
In death, no friendly tomb,
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heav’n was his home,
but mine the tomb wherein he lay.
6 Here might I sing belief
in one my soul adores:
never was pain nor grief,
never was love like yours.
This is my friend
in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN Text Sources: The Young Man’s Meditations, or Some Few Sacred Poems . . ., 1664; rev. Hymns for Today’s Church, alt.

And adoration leaves no room for pride,

A new dimension in the world of sound,
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!

In faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
Borne witness to the truth in ev'ry tongue:
Alleluia!

When utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
Alleluia!

Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Scripture: Matthew 26:30 Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

O Love, How Deep, How Broad
Author: Thomas à Kempis; Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Journey to the Cross First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
2 For us he was baptized and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore.
For us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself but us.
4 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 Eternal glory to our God
for love so deep, so high, so broad;
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS Text Sources: trans. Benjamin Webb (England), The Hymnal Noted, 1851, alt.
