Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Ray Palmer (1808-1887) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 586 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, thou light of life, thou fount of grace: from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to seek thy face. 2 Thy truth unchanged has ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call: to those that seek thee thou art good, to those that find thee, all in all. 3 We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountain-head, and thirst our souls from thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-6 Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ, by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he. 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; proofs I see sufficient of it: 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, was there ever grief like his, friends through fear his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress? Many hands were raised to wound him, none would intervene to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that justice gave. 3 If you think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great, here you see its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost: Christ, the Rock of our salvation, is the name of which we boast; Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built. Topics: Jesus' Passion Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN
