Joy Is a Fruit That Will Not Grow

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 91 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1. Joy is a fruit that will not grow In nature’s barren soil; All we can boast, till Christ we know, Is vanity and toil. 2. But where the Lord has planted grace; And made His glories known; There fruits of heavenly joy and peace Are found, and there alone. 3. A bleeding Savior seen by faith, A sense of pard’ning love; A hope that triumphs over death, Give joys like those above. 4. To take a glimpse within the veil, To know that God is mine; Are springs of joy that never fail, Unspeakably divine! 5. These are the joys which satisfy, And sanctify the mind; Which make the spirit mount on high, And leave the world behind. 6. No more, believers, mourn your lot, But if you are the Lord’s; Resign to them that know Him not, Such joys as earth affords. Used With Tune: ELIZABETHTOWN Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W.

How sweet upon this sacred day

Author: Mrs. Follen Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 How sweet upon this sacred day, The best of all the seven, To cast our earthly thoughts away, And think of God and heaven! 2 How sweet to be allowed to pray, Our sins may be forgiven! With filial confidence to say, "Father, who art in heaven!" 3 How sweet the words of peace to hear From him to whom 'tis given To wake the penitential tear, And lead the way to heaven! 4 And if to make our sins depart, In vain the will has striven, He who regards the inmost heart Will send his grace from heaven.
