Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
Author: Henry Van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 288 hymnals Topics: Joy Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the gloom 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.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou 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.

The head that once was crowned with thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854/5 Appears in 531 hymnals Topics: Joy 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 the 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall:
When I am sad, to Him I go,
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad,
He's my friend.
2 Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o'er and o'er:
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
He sends the harvest's golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.
3 Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I'll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When He's so true to me?
Following Him I know I'm right,
He watches o'er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night,
He's my friend.
4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when
Life's fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend,
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He's my friend. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Used With Tune: ALL THE WORLD

Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God;
from death to life eternal,
from earth unto the sky,
our God hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection-light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear so calm and plain
his own 'All hail', and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
and earth her song begin,
the round world keep high triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord is risen,
our joy that hath no end. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Ye choirs of new Jerusalem
Author: Robert Campbell (1814-1868); St Fulbert of Chartres (d. 1028) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Joy Lyrics: 1 Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
your sweetest notes employ,
the Paschal victory to hymn
in strains of holy joy.
2 How Judah's Lion burst his chains,
and crushed the serpent's head;
and brought with him, from death's domains,
the long-imprisoned dead.
3 From hell's devouring jaws the prey
alone our Leader bore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where he hath gone before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now
his sceptre ruleth all,
earth, heaven, and hell before him bow,
and at his footstool fall.
5 While joyful thus his praise we sing,
his mercy we implore,
into his palace bright to bring
and keep us evermore.
6 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run.
Alleluia! Amen. Scripture: Philippians 2:11 Used With Tune: ST FULBERT

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,023 hymnals Topics: Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view,
I'm lost in wonder, love and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in such slipp'ery paths I ran
in childhood's careless days,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
to walk in adult ways.
4 When worn with sickness oft hast thou
with health renewed my face;
and when in sins and sorrows sunk,
revived my soul with grace.
5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
6 Through ev'ry period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
7 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O! eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Used With Tune: BELGRAVE
When all thy mercies, O my God
Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying
Author: P. Nicolai, 1566-1608 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Heaven's Eternal Joy First Line: "Wake, awake, for night is flying" Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
It is midnight, we are weary,
With voices strong they call us clearly:
"Where are you now, O virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Allelujah!
With bridal care yourselves prepare
To feast with Him, your Groom most fair."
2 Zion hears the watchword sounding,
With bridal joy her heart is bounding,
She wakes, and breaks the spell of sleep.
For her Lord comes forth in splendor,
All rich in grace, truth's strong Defender!
Her Star grows bright and darkness deep.
Now come,O precious Crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Hail, Hosanna!
We enter all, the marriage hall,
To eat the Supper at Your call.
3 All the Church in Christ rejoices
With human and angelic voices,
With harp and cymbal's merry tone.
All twelve gates of that blest city
Gleam forth with pearls of heav'nly beauty;
We worship there around the throne.
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught
Such great glory;
Blessed, will we, sweet jubilee,
Sing "Gloria" eternally.

Thou hidden source of calm repose
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Peace and Joy Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden source of calm repose,
Thou all-sufficient love divine,
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am, if thou art mine:
And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame
I hide me, Jesus, in thy Name.
2 Thy mighty Name salvation is,
And keeps my happy soul above;
Comfort it brings, and pow'r, and peace,
And joy, and everlasting love:
To me, with thy dear Name are giv'n
Pardon, and holiness, and heav'n.
3 Jesus, my all in all thou art;
My rest in toil, my ease in pain,
The medicine of my broken heart,
In war my peace, in loss my gain,
My smile beneath the tyrant's frown,
In shame my glory and my crown:
4 In want my plentiful supply,
In weakness my almighty pow'r,
In bonds my perfect liberty,
My light in Satan's darkest hour,
My help and stay whene'er I call,
My life in death, my heav'n, my all.

All for us to do;
They who trust him wholly
Find him wholly true. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 48:48 Used With Tune: LIKE A RIVER
