and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountainhead,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.

where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away,
shed o'er the world thy holy light.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: John 1:5-9 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of Light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord Most High!

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 1:11 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But, O, my Friend,
my fFiend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his strong praises sing,
resounding all the way
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Ye they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home,
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend.
