Lord Jesus, when your people meet

Author: W. Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #371 (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when your people meet they come before your mercy-seat; where you are sought, you shall be found, and every place is holy ground. 2 Your presence, by no walls confined, is known within the humble mind; the meek will bring you where they come, and going take your to their home. 3 Great Shepherd of your chosen few, your former mercies here renew; here to our waiting hearts proclaim the greatness of your saving name. 4 Here may we prove the power of prayer to strengthen faith and sweeten care; to teach our faint desires to rise, and bring all heaven before our eyes. 5 Lord, we are few, but you are near; your arm can save, your ear can hear; break through the heavens, come quickly down, and make a thousand hearts your own!

Jesus, the joy of loving hearts

Author: R. Palmer (1808-1887) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #413c (1987) Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the joy of loving hearts, true source of life, our lives sustain: from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to you again. 2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood, you rescue those who on you call: to those yet seeking, you are good — to those who find you, all-in-all. 3 We taste of you, the living bread, and long to feast upon you still; we drink from you, the fountain-head, our thirsty souls from you we fill. 4 Our restless spirits long for you, whichever way our lot is cast, glad when your gracious smile we view, blessed when our faith can hold you fast. 5 Jesus, for ever with us stay, make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away, spread through the world your holy light.

As stars adorn the night-veiled sky

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #748 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky, arrayed like jewels rare and bright, so shine God's saints in every age to give the world new hope, new light. 2 The light saints bear is not their own but shines through them as gift and sign: to show how God can use and bless frail human means for ends divine. 3 Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ, the Morning Star that crowns the night, whose rising heralds God's new day, the promised dawn of life and light. 4 That light is ours to claim and share, not merely praise or gaze upon: for all who are baptized become light-bearers through the Risen One. 5 The saints inspire and challenge us our holy calling to embrace: to bear Christ's light in our own day, to be the vessels of God's grace.
