Jesus, the Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #71 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Yearning Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the joy of loving hearts, true source of life, our lives sustain; from the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to you again. 2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood; you rescue those who on you call: to those yet seeking, you are good; to those who find you, all in all. 3 We taste of you, the living bread, and long to feast upon you still. We drink from you, the fountain-head, our thirsty souls from you we fill. 4 Our restless spirits long for you, however may our lot be cast, glad when your gracious smile we view, blessed when our faith can hold you fast. 5 Jesus, forever with us stay: make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed through the world your holy light. Scripture: Exodus 17:1-7 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTE REDEMPTOR OMNIUM

For Remembered Music Sounding

Author: Thomas H. Troeger, 1945- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #133 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Yearning Lyrics: 1 For remembered music sounding when the last note fades away and our hearts are left abounding with new confidence to pray, for the preludes that recenter each distracted, fussing soul so the peace of God may enter and restore and make us whole, 2 for the hymns of adoration that unite us in one voice as we join the whole creation and together we rejoice, for laments and psalms of sorrow that release our needed tears and that help us reach tomorrow and to look beyond our fears, 3 for the carols waking wonder at the birth of Christ our Lord, for a tombstone split asunder by an alleluia chord, for the Spirit's sudden coming when an anthem lifts our heart, for the angels we hear humming while we play or sing our part, 4 for the beauty, for the glory, for the church alive with praise, for the singing of the story that redeems our silent days— God, our thanks are never ending while our spirits pray and long to create, as you're intending, that new world we glimpse through song. Scripture: Psalm 126 Languages: English Tune Title: SENTENCE
