Joyful, joyful we adore thee

Author: Henry van Dyke, 1852-1933 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #438 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, Praising thee, their Sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, Drive the dark 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. A-men. 3 Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean-depth of happy rest! Thee 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. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began; Father-love is reigning o’er us, Brother-love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music lifts us sunward In the triumph song of life. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLELUIA

Saviour, now the day is ending

Author: Sarah Doudney Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #438 (1917) Topics: Times and Seasons At the Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Saviour, now the day is ending, And the shades of evening fall, Let Thy Holy Dove, descending, Bring Thy mercy to us all; Set Thy seal on every heart, Jesus, bless us ere we part! 2 Bless the Gospel message spoken In Thine own appointed way; Give each fainting soul a token Of Thy tender love to-day; Set Thy seal on every heart, Jesus, bless us ere we part! 3 Comfort those in pain or sorrow; Watch each sleeping child of Thine; Let us all arise to-morrow Strengthened by Thy grace divine; Set Thy seal on every heart, Jesus, bless us ere we part! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GOUNOD

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #439 (1958) Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service 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 their 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.

Our Savior saw our helplessness And came with peace to cheer us.

Let all who know his pow'r proclaim Aloud the wondrous story. Cast ev'ry idol from its throne, For God is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory!

When on my day of life the night is falling

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #468a (1917) Topics: Life Close of Lyrics: 1 When on my day of life the night is falling, And in the winds from unsunned spaces blown I hear far voices out of darkness calling My feet to paths unknown-- 2 Thou, who hast made my home of life so pleasant, Leave not its tenant when its walls decay; O Love Divine, O Helper ever present, Be Thou my strength and stay! 3 Be near me when all else is from me drifting Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting The love which answers mine. 4 I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy Spirit Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit, Nor street of shining gold. 5 Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned, And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace I find myself by hands familiar beckoned Unto my fitting place. 6 Some humble door among Thy many mansions, Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease, And flows for ever through heaven's green expansions The river of Thy peace. 7 There from the music round about me stealing I fain would learn the new and holy song. And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing, The life for which I long. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMA
