When God restor'd our captive state
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Conversion and joy; Joy of conversion Lyrics:
When God restored our captive state,
Joy was our song, and grace our theme;
The grace beyond our hopes so great
That joy appeared a painted dream.
The scoffer owns thy hand, and pays
Unwilling honors to thy name;
While we with pleasure shout thy praise,
With cheerful notes thy love proclaim.
When we review our dismal fears,
'Twas hard to think they'd vanish so;
With God we left our flowing tears,
He makes our joys like rivers flow.
The man that in his furrowed field
His scattered seed with sadness leaves,
Will shout to see the harvest yield
A welcome load of joyful sheaves.
Scripture: Psalm 126

O God, Thou faithful God
Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Christian Joy Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou faithful God,
Thou Fountain ever-flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing;
A pure and healthy frame
O give me, and within
A conscience free from blame,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 And grant me, Lord, to do,
With ready heart and willing,
Whate'er Thou shalt command,
My calling here fulfilling,
To do it when I ought,
With all my strength, and bless
The work I thus have wrought,
For Thou must give success.
3 And let me promise naught
But I can keep it truly,
Abstain from idle words,
And guard my lips e'er duly;
And grant, when in my place
I must and ought to speak,
My words due power and grace,
Nor let me wound the weak.
4 If dangers gather round,
Still keep me calm and fearless;
Help me to bear the cross,
When life is dark and cheerless;
To overcome my foe
With words and actions kind;
When counsel I would know,
Good counsel let me find.
5 And let me be with all
In peace and friendship living,
As far as Christians may;
And if Thou aught art giving
Of wealth and honors fair,
O this refuse me not,
That naught be mingled there
Of goods unjustly got.
6 And if a longer life
Be here on earth decreed me,
And Thou through many a strife
To ripe old age wilt lead me,
Thy patience in me shed,
Avert all sin and shame,
And crown my hoary head
With pure, untarnished fame.
7 Let nothing here on earth
Me from my Saviour sever;
And when I die, O take
My soul to Thee forever;
And let my body have
A little space to sleep
Beside my kindred's grave,
And o'er it vigil keep.
8 And when the Day is come,
And all the dead are waking,
O reach me down Thy hand,
Thyself my slumbers breaking;
Then let me hear Thy voice,
And change this earthly frame,
And bid me aye rejoice
With those who love Thy name.

What child is this
Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Joy First Line: What child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest,
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary.
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where oxen now are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary.
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high;
the virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 13.10.13.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim;
with gold of obedience and incense of lowliness,
kneel and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness:
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine:
truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the off'rings to lay on his shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear;
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling and hope for our fear.
Scripture: Matthew 2:11 Used With Tune: WAS LEBET
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
