Jesu, the very thought of thee
Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,043 hymnals Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Jesu, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the memory find,
a sweeter sound than Jesu's name,
the Saviour of mankind.
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who ask how kind thou art,
how good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesu, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
in thee be all our glory now,
and through eternity.
PART TWO -
6 O Jesu, King most wonderful,
thou Conqueror renowned,
thou sweetness most ineffable,
in whom all joys are found!
7 When once thou visitest the heart,
then truth begins to shine,
then earthly vanities depart,
then kindles love divine.
8 Thee, Jesu, may our voices bless,
thee may we love alone,
and ever in our lives express
the image of thine own.
9 Abide with us, and let thy light
shine, Lord, on every heart;
dispel the darkness of our night,
and joy to all impart.
10 Jesu, our love and joy, to thee,
the Virgin's holy Son,
all might and praise and glory be,
while endless ages run. Topics: General Hymns God the Son Used With Tune: ST AGNES (DYKES)

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,228 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
kindle a flame of sacred love
in these cold hearts of ours.
2 See how we trifle here below,
fond of these earthly toys;
our souls, how heavily they go,
to reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
in vain we strive to rise;
hosannas languish on our tongues,
snd our devotion dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all thy quickening powers;
come, shed abroad a Saviour’s love,
snd that shall kindle ours.

Calm on the list'ning ear of night
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 352 hymnals Lyrics:
Calm on the listening ear of night
Come heaven's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glories there;
And angels, with their sparkling lyres,
Make music on the air.
The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The Dayspring from on high.
O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm,
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.
"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring,
"Peace to the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's eternal King!"
Light on thy hills, Jerusalem!
The Savior now is born:
More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains
Breaks the first Christmas morn.

and one their heavenly rest.

and all its wisdom prize.
