O joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind Thou art! How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah! this, no tongue or pen can show the love of Jesus, what it is none but His loved ones know. Topics: The Church at Worship Prayer; Jesus Christ-Savior; Prayer Used With Tune: ST.

The bread and win remove; but You are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.
