Jesu, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 18 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by you, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round your throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in you confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
You, forever, lead your own
in the love of joys unknown.

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Author: Johannes Olearius; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load;
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign,
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That His Word is never broken.

On Thy servant now, we pray;
Let him prove a faithful shepherd
To Thy little lambs alway.
Thy pure teaching to proclaim,
To extol Thy holy name,
And to feed Thy lambs, dear Savior,
Make his aim and sole endeavor.
2 Thou, O Lord, Thyself hast called him
For Thy precious lambs to care;
But to prosper in his calling,
He the Spirit's gifts must share.
Grant him wisdom from above,
Fill his heart with holy love.
In all weakness be Thou near Him,
In his prayers, Good Shepherd, hear him.
3 Help, Lord Jesus, help him nourish
Our dear children with Thy Word
That in constant love they serve Thee
Till in heav'n their song is heard.
Boundless blessings, Lord, bestow
On his faithful toil below
Till by grace to him is given
His reward, the crown of heaven.

Like the Golden Sun Ascending
Author: Thomas Kingo; George T. Rygh Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Lyrics: 1 Like the golden sun ascending,
Breaking thro' the gloom of night,
On the earth his glory spending
So that darkness takes to flight,
Thus my Jesus from the grave
And Death's dismal, dreadful cave
Rose triumphant Easter morning
At the early purple dawning.
2 Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious!
Thanks to Thee, O Lord of Life!
Death hath now no power o'er us,
Thou hast conquered in the strife.
Thanks because Thou didst arise
And hast opened Paradise!
None can fully sing the glory
Of the resurrection story.
3 Though I be by sin o'ertaken,
Though I lie in helplessness,
Though I be by friends forsaken
And must suffer sore distress,
Though I be despised, contemned,
And by all the world condemned,
Though the dark grave yawn before me,
Yet the light of hope shines o'er me.
4 Thou hast died for my transgression,
All my sins on Thee were laid;
Thou hast won for me salvation,
On the cross my debt was paid.
From the grave I shall arise
And shall meet Thee in the skies.
Death itself is transitory;
I shall lift my head in glory.
5 Grant me grace, O blessed Savior,
And Thy Holy Spirit send
That my walk and my behavior
May be pleasing to the end;
That I may not fall again
Into Death's grim pit and pain,
Whence by grace Thou hast retrieved me
And from which Thou hast relieved me.
6 For the joy Thy advent gave me,
For Thy holy, precious Word;
For Thy Baptism, which doth save me,
For Thy blest Communion board;
For Thy death, the bitter scorn,
For Thy resurrection morn,
Lord, I thank Thee and extol Thee,
And in heaven I shall behold Thee.

But to me, who know my burden,
Show me now your Word of pardon!

Through death's vale, its dreary night;

And my cup of joy unfailing!

Let your words in me take root;
Let this gift of heav'n enrich me
So that I bring gen'rous fruit:
Never take them from my heart
Till I see you as your are,
When in heav'nly bliss and glory
I will meet you and adore you! Topics: The Word of God Used With Tune: WERDE MUNTER

Christians, While on Earth Abiding
Guardian of Pure Hearts, and Hearer
Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer,
Lord, of ev'ry faithful prayer,
In Thy courts one day is dearer
Than a thousand days elsewhere.
Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet
In Thy temple fair to meet!
There to sing away each sorrow
That from life and toil we borrow!
2 With the righteous oft it fareth
Here as if his deeds were ill;
Blight fair virtue's flow'rs impaireth,
Weeds of vice do flourish still;
Joy and fortune haste away,
Friends with friends--how short their stay!
Rachel still her children mourneth,
And her soul from comfort turneth.
3 But when here devoutly soareth
High the temple-anthem sweet,
Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth,
Hearts with holy rapture beat:
Free from earthly clouds, the soul
Presses toward a higher goal,
Takes from hope the comfort given,
Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven.
4 O my soul, on wings ascending,
Thou on Salem's mount shalt rest;
There where cherub-harps are blending
With the singing of the blest;
Let thy note of praise and prayer
To thy God precede thee there,
While e'en yet a careworn mortal,
Still without Thy Father's portal.
5 Christians, while on earth abiding,
Let us ever praise and pray,
Firmly in our God confiding,
As our fathers in their day;
Be the children's voices raised
To the God their fathers praised.
Let Thy bounty, failing never,
Be on us and all forever.
6 Bless us, Father, and protect us,
Be our souls' sure hiding-place,
Let Thy wisdom still direct us,
Light our darkness with Thy grace!
Let Thy countenance on us shine,
Fill us all with peace divine.
Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit,
Praise Him all that life inherit.
Amen.

Blessed is the man that never
Author: P. Gerhardt; M. B. Landstad Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Blessed is the man that never
Doth in godless counsel meet;
Nor in sinners' way stands ever,
Nor sits in the scorner's seat,
But on God's all-perfect law
Meditates with holy awe;
Day and night he delves for treasure
In the Word--'tis all his pleasure.
2 As a tree that has been planted
By the flowing waters fair,
In its season e'er is granted
Fruits and foliage to bear,
So is he, the righteous, seen
Ever fruitful, ever green,
And his leaf shall wither never,
All he does shall prosper ever.
3 To the wicked 'tis not given
Such a happy lot to share;
As the chaff by wind is driven
So shall the ungodly fare;
They in judgment shall not stand,
Nor be in the righteous band:
These the Lord forsaketh never,
Those shall be cast off forever.
4 For the Lord His people knoweth,
His pure eyes behold their way,
And the blessing He bestoweth
Is their heritage for aye:
But the wicked ever tend
To their doom and to their end:
God will all the righteous cherish,
But the wicked ones shall perish. Topics: The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity; Law of God Used With Tune: [Blessed is the man that never]

Steep and weary is the way,
Shorten Thou the sultry day,
Faithful warriors hast Thou found us?
Let Thy peace for aye surround us.
3 In that peace we reap in gladness
What was sown in tearful showers;
There the fruit of all our sadness
Ripens,--there the palm is ours;
There our God upon His throne
Is our full Reward alone.

Sheaves of gladness bring there through Him. Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Used With Tune: REGENSBURG (Werde munter, sein Gemüte)

Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather
Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: I. Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather
All thy Senses from abroad,
To adore thy Heav'nly Father,
And the Goodness of thy God,
For preserving Thee this Day,
Chasing Satan's Host away,
That their Malice and Delusion
Cou'd not put Thee to Confusion.
II. Blessed be thy gracious Favour,
Father of Eternity!
That thou'st helpt me in my Labour,
And my great Necessity;
That in all my Care and Grief
Thou hast sent me sure Relief,
And remov'd, on all Occasion,
What might frustrate my Salvation.
III. None of all the skill'd in Numbers,
Nor the Sons of Eloquence
Can express or count the Wonders
Of thy gracious providence.
O, thy Mercies are too great
For us Mortals to repeat.
Let us then adore in Spirit
What's above our Sense and Merit.
IV. Now this tiresome Day is finish'd,
Gloomy Night draws on apace;
Chearful Day Light is diminish'd,
And the sun has hid his Face.
Lord, endow me with thy Love,
That the Instances I prove
Of thy Care and thy Protection
work in me a pure Subjection.
V. Pardon, Lord, each sad Transgression,
Whether open or unknown,
With the Weight of whose Oppression
I all Night in secret moan;
So that Satan's fiery Dart
Often pierces through my Heart,
And disturbs the blest Intention
Of thy Grace and thy Redemption.
VI. Tho' I've stray'd and thee denied;
As I willingly return,
For his Sake who for me died,
Let thy Wrath no longer burn;
I confess the Guilt of Sin;
But thy Grace can make me clean,
Which exceeds, beyond Expression,
All the Poison of Transgression.
VII. Author of illumination,
Light of Light, eternal Word,
Soul and Body's Preservation
I commit to thee, O Lord:
My Redeemer, dwell in me,
That I sleep and wake with Thee,
And enjoy thy Consolation
In the Night of Perturbation.
VIII. Guard me from the Snares of Satan,
And the Pow'r of Sin and Hell;
Which raise Dreams I never thought on,
And abominate to tell.
Let me never lose the Sight
Of thy good and gracious Light.
Having thee, I can be quiet
'Midst the Furies-Storm and Riot.
IX. When I close mine Eyes to slumber,
And my Senses fall asleep,
Let my Heart, awake, the Number
Of thy mercies tell and keep.
Fill me with thy sacred Love,
That I dream of what's above,
And keep close to Thee my Saviour
Even in my Nights Behaviour.
X. Grant, that under thy Protection,
I enjoy a quiet Rest;
Guard me from Night-Sin's Infection;
Number me among the Blest;
Soul and Body, Heart and Mind
Keep from harm of ev'ry Kind
Friends and Foes and each Relation
Visit with thy new Creation.
XI. Let no frightful Rumour wake me
From within or from abroad;
Let no Sickness overtake me;
Lord, be thou my sure Abode.
Fire and Water, pestilence,
Death that's sudden off me fence,
Lest I dye in my Transgression,
And fall short of thy Possession.
XII. Father, hear the Supplication
Of thy poor unworthy Child.
JESU! through thy Meditation,
Make me truly reconcil'd.
Holy Ghost, of equal Praise,
I depend upon thy Grace.
Sacred Three! be pleas'd to say then:
Even so it shall be. AMEN!

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Gott, Du hast Dir ausersehen
Deinen Sohn zum Opferlamm.
Deine Liebe hieß Dich gehen
mit Ihm hin zum Kreuzesstamm.
Seine Qual schnitt Dir ins Herz,
und Sein Weh war auch Dein Schmerz.
Deinen Feinden - wer kann's fassen! –
mußtest Du Ihn überlassen.
2 Dann, in jenen finstern Stunden,
eh‘ der Vielgeliebte starb,
war‘s die tiefste Seiner Wunden,
daß Dein Antlitz sich verbarg.
Und Er rief - Du bliebest stumm,
kehrtest Dich zu Ihm nicht um:
Dass wir nicht als Sünder sterben,
mußste Er "zur Sünde" werden.
3 Und zuletzt hat Er Sein Leben
ausgeschüttet in den Tod,
hat sich für uns hingegeben,
Dir zum Wohlgeruch, o Gott!
All Dein Sehnen ist gestillt,
das Erlösungswerk erfüllt:
"Kinder" bringt Er Dir zum Herzen
als die Frucht von Seinen Schmerzen.
4 O, mit welchem Wohlgefallen
blickst Du jetzt auf Deinen Sohn!
Er, der Herrlichste von allen,
sitzt bei Dir, auf Deinem Thron,
stimmt in uns den Lobgesang,
der nicht enden wird, jetzt an:

Thanks to Thee, O Lord of Life!
Death hath now no power o'er us,
Thou hast conquered in the strife.
Thanks because Thou didst arise
And hast opened paradise!
None can fully sing the glory
Of the resurrection story.
2 Thou hast died for my transgression,
All my sins on Thee were laid;
Thou hast won for me salvation,
On the cross my debt was paid.
From the grave I shall arise
And shall meet Thee in the skies.
Death itself is transitory;
I shall lift my head in glory.
3 For the joy Thine advent gave me,
For Thy holy, precious Word;
For Thy Baptism, which doth save me,
For Thy blest Communion board;
For Thy death, the bitter scorn,
For Thy resurrection morn,
Lord, I thank Thee and extol Thee,
And in heav'n I shall behold Thee.

May his blessing, failing never,
Rest on all his saints forever.

Safely through these fleeting days;

Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, Thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe Thy life, and spread Thy light!

Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send!

Grant us Thy illumination!

Of the earth and spreading skies;
Every sand the shore possesses
Thy omniscient mind descries.
Holy Fountain! wash us clean
Both from error and from sin!
Make us fly what Thou refusest,
And delight in what Thou choosest!
4 Manifest Thy love for ever;
Fence us in on every side;
In distress be our reliever,
Guard and teach, support and guide!
Let Thy kind effectual grace
Turn our feet from evil ways;
Show Thyself our new creator,
And conform us to Thy nature!

God, omnipotent to save!
When we die, be our salvation,
When we're buried, be our grave!
And, when from the grave we rise,
Take us up above the skies,
Seat us with Thy saints in glory,
There for ever to adore Thee!

And ye senses, ev'ry one,
Come, your quiet haunts forsaking,
Tell what God for me has done;
He through this entire day
Has been with me on my way,
To my many wants attending
And all dangers from me fending.
2 Praise and thanks to Thee I render,
Father Thou of mercies great.
Thou hast been my strong Defender,
Never shall Thy love abate.
Thou hast shielded me from woe,
Lent me strength and foiled the foe,
So that I, Thy help beholding,
Rest secure in Thine enfolding.
3 If from Thee I have departed,
I return again to Thee,
Knowing Thou art tender-hearted,
Since Thy Son atoned for me.
I cannot deny my guilt,
But for me His blood was spilt,
And Thy grace, all sin exceeding,
Grants forgiveness at His pleading.
4 Grant that I in peace may slumber,
Finding sweet and quiet rest.
Let no cares my soul encumber,
Keep it by Thy presence blest.
Mind and body, child and wife,
All my goods and all my life,
Friends and foes, alike befriended,
Be this night to Thee commended.
5 O immortal God, endue me
With the gifts for which I ask.
Jesus, lest some ill pursue me,
Prosper me in ev'ry task.
Holy Spirit, Comfort, Friend,
On whose counsel I depend,
Hearken to my earnest pleading;
Amen, Thou my prayer art heeding. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: REGENSBURG

Hear the loving Saviour plead,
From death's dungeon He would free thee,
On the living pathway lead.
Know the Father's will to save:
Yet a day of grace He gave;
Hearken to the voice that calls thee,
Ere His righteous doom befalls thee.
2 If thou to the Lord's entreaties
Close thine ears and lock thy heart,
If thou spurn the hand that beckons
Thee from evil ways apart,
Soon that gentle voice may cease:
Know the things unto thy peace,
Ere the door shall close forever,
thee from heav'nly bliss to sever.
3 But if thou in deep contrition
Ownest to thy helplessness,
Trusting solely in His merit
Who achieved thy righteousness,
Hearken, then, unto His call.
At His table humbly fall,
There receive the food fro heaven
For thy faith's sustention given.
4 Lord and Saviour, keep and guide me
By Thy gospel light, I pray,
That the world by her seductions
Draw me not from Thee away.
In Thy body and Thy blood
Give me now that precious food
Which Thy witness here shall make me,
Till to thine abode Thou take me.

In Thy house, O Father, dwells;
There the strength for our endurance
From Thy sacred altar wells.
To thy presence we draw night,
Grant us power from on high;
With Thy sword and helmet arm us,
That no worldly foes alarm us.
3 Let Thy Church, O heavenly Father,
Be to us the open way
To that temple where we gather
Round Thy throne some blessèd day.
Gentle Shepherd, as of old,
Feed us, tend us, in Thy fold,
And at last Thy flock deliver,
In Thy heaven to dwell forever.

Kjære Sjæl, og syng og siig
Herren Tak for alt det Gode,
Som han haver gjort mod mig,
At han, medens Dagen skred,
Af sin store Miskundhed
Har fra Fare mig bevaret
Og mod Satans List forsvaret.
2 Glædelig min Røst skal klinge
Med din Lov, o Fader blid!
Du gav Lykke til at bringe
Vel til Ende Dagens Id,
Lov og Tak af Hjertens Grund
For din Hjælp i hver ne Stund,
For Velsignelsen, du sendte,
Uden at jeg den fortjente.
3 Denne Dag er nu forgangen,
Solens Skin har os forladt,
Derimod jeg sidder fangen
I den mørke, kolde Nat.
Lad, o Gud, din Naades Skin
Lyse mig i Sjælen ind,
Og mit kolde Hjerte tende
Af din Kjærlighed at brænde.
4 Gode Gud, tilgiv i Naade,
Hvad jeg haver brudt mod dig
Denne Dag i mangen Maade,
Hvorved Satan glæder sig;
Thi han ønsker trædskelig,
At jeg skal fortørne dig;
Men din Søn vil for mig bede,
At han mig ei maa forlede.
5 O du Sjælens Trøst og Glæde,
O du Herlighedens Glans,
Vær i Nat hos mig tilstede,
Og med Englevagt omskans;
Herre, bliv du hos mig her,
Medens det saa øde er,
Og saa mørkt til alle Sider,–
At jeg ingen Skade lider.
6 Dine Vinger mig bedække,
Lad mig hvile i dit Skjød,
Intet Ondt lad mig forstrække,
Eller bryde Søvnen sød;
Dig befaler jeg i Haand
Liv og Legem, Sjæl og Aand,
Ægtefælle, Slægt og Venner,
Hus og Hjem, Gods, Børn og Tjener.
7 Du os alle vel bevare
Denne Nat og al vor Tid
Fra Ulykke, Frygt og Fare,
Fra urolig Tvist og Strid!
Afvend Vands og Ildens Nød,
Sot og Sygdom, hastig Død,
Lad din Vredes Ild udslukkes,
Lad os ei i Synd bortrykkes!
8 Ak, bønhør nu, kjære Fader,
Hvad jeg barnlig har fremført!
Jesu, jeg dig ei forlader,
Før jeg er af dig bønhørt!
O du værdig' Helligaand,
Du vor søde Trøstermand,
Hør og gjør det, vi begjære!

Våra fäders tempelgärd,
Du beskär oss ljus och styrka
Och din trogna herdevård!
Än i helgedomens famn
Samlar Jesu Kristi namn
En gemenskap omkring ordet,
Dopets bad och nattvardsbordet.
2 Trycks til jorden ned vårt sinne
Under mödor och besvär,
Uppåt visar korskrönt tinne
Till ett mål, som evigt är.
Klockans helga maningsljud
Kallar syndare till Gud,
Psalmen, som sig mäktigt svingar,
Skänker åt vår andakt vingar.
3 Herrens kyrka bjuder alla
Oförgänglig sabbatsfrid,
Hur än orons vågor svalla
Genom söndringslysten tid,
Ty i Jesu Kristi tro
Får hvar själ, som trår til ro
Och i tvifvel söker fäste,
Hägn likt svalan i sitt näste.
4 Ej den falska frid, som söfver,
Bor, där Herrens boning är,
Krafter, som vår håg behöfver
Mot det onda, undfås där;
Där vi röna, huru b¨øn
Striden hoppfull gör och skön,
Där vi svärd och pansar finna
För att världen övervinna.
5 Bane, Gud, din kyrka stigen,
Som oss leder, tills i nå
Templet, där evinnerligen
Vi inför ditt anlet stå.
Led oss, lyft oss, herde from,
Upp till denna helgedom,
Där de återlöst lammen
Du kring dig församlar! Amen!
