Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Author: Henry J. van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 266 hymnals Matching Instances: 167 Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Op’ning to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! 2 All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Singing 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. 4 Mortals, join the happy chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life.

Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Author: William J. Irons Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 106 hymnals Matching Instances: 35 Lyrics: 1. Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth's dark story, to the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease; in God's likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace. 2. O what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our welcome waits. Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th'eternal gates. 3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices: Jesus lives, who once was dead. Join we now the deathless voices; child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from the distant ages, saints all longing for their heaven, prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory given. 4. Life eternal! O what wonders crowd on faith; what joy unknown, when, amidst earth's closing thunders, saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, see that glowing firmament; know, with thee, O God Immortal, "Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!"

Take Me, O My Father

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 145 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 First Line: Take me O my Father, take me Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me! Take me, save me, thro' thy Son; That which thou wouldst have me, make me, Let thy will in me be done. Long from thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying— Take me to thy love, my God! 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At thy feet, O Father, falling, To thy house-hold take me in. Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer— Gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer dying, Bare our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee; Father, take me! all forgiving Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy love for ever living, I must be for ever blest.
