Sweetest Joy the Soul Can Know

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sweetest joy the soul can know, Fairest light was ever shed, Who alike in joy or woe, Leavest none unvisited; Spirit of the Highest God, Lord from whom is life bestowed, Who upholdest everything, Hear me, hear me, while I sing! 2. For the noblest gift Thou art That a soul e’er sought or won, Have I wished Thee to my heart, Then my wishing all is done; Ah then yield Thee, nor refuse Here to dwell, for Thou didst choose This my heart, from e’en its birth, For Thy temple here on earth. 3. Thou art shed like gentlest showers From the Father and the Son, Bringest to this earth of ours Purest blessing from their throne; Suffer then, O noble Guest, That rich gift by Thee possessed, Which Thou givest at Thy will All my soul and flesh to fill. 4. Thou art wise, before Thee stand Hidden things unveiled to Thee, Countest up the grains of sand, Fathomest the deepest sea, And Thou knowest well how blind, Dark and crooked is my mind; Give me wisdom, in Thy light Let me please my God aright. 5. Thou art holy, enterest in Where pure hearts Thy coming wait, But Thou fleest shame and sin, Craft and falsehood Thou dost hate; Wash me then, O Well of grace, Every stain and spot efface, Let me flee what Thou dost flee, Grant me what Thou lov’st to see. 6. Thou art loving, hatest strife, As a lamb of patient mood, Calm through all our restless life, E’en to sinners kind and good; Grant me too this noble mind, To be calm and true and kind, Loving every friend or foe, Grieving none whom Thou dost know. 7. Well contented is my heart, If but Thou reject me not; If but Thou wilt ne’er depart, I am blest whate’er my lot; Thine for ever make me now, And to Thee, my Lord, I vow Here and yonder to employ Every power for Thee with joy. 8. Be my help when danger’s nigh, When I sink hold Thou me up, Be my life when I must die, In the grave be Thou my hope; Bring me when I rise again To the land that knows no pain, Where Thy followers from Thy stream Drink for ever joys supreme.

Huston Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: There's a happy world above Refrain First Line: In that happy world above Lyrics: 1 There’s a happy world above, Where there’s joy, and peace, and love; We are going to that world, To that happy world above. There is full, supreme delight, In those mansions fair and bright, With their pure, celestial light, In that happy world above. 2 We shall all behold the King, And His holy praises sing, Till the heav’nly arches ring, In that happy world above. Nor shall sin e’er enter there, Neither doubtings or despair, Shall corrupt those mansions fair, In that happy world above. 3 Saints and angels in one throng, Praise their King in rapturous song, And the lofty strains prolong, In that happy world above. There we’ll sing and happy be, And in all eternity Our Redeemer we shall see, In that happy world above. Select Hymns, 1911 (Timeless Truths)

Time, with an Unwearied Hand

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Time, with an unwearied hand, Pushes round the seasons past, And in life’s frail glass, the sand Sinks apace, not long to last: Many, well as you or I, Who last year assembled thus; In their silent graves now lie, Graves will open soon for us! 2. Daily sin, and care, and strife, While the Lord prolongs our breath, Make it but a dying life, Or a kind of living death: Wretched they, and most forlorn, Who no better portion know; Better ne’er to have been born, Than to have our all below. 3. When constrained to go alone, Leaving all you love behind; Entering on a world unknown, What will then support your mind? When the Lord His summons sends, Earthly comforts lose their power; Honors, riches, kindred, friends, Cannot cheer a dying hour. 4. Happy souls who fear the Lord Time is not too swift for you; When your Savior gives the word, Glad you’ll bid the world adieu: Then He’ll wipe away your tears, Near Himself appoint your place; Swifter fly, ye rolling years, Lord, we long to see Thy face.

Who Shall Roll The Stone Away?

Author: P. C. Croll Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: "Who shall roll the stone away?" Lyrics: 1 "Who shall roll the stone away?" Thus the pious women spoke, As they went at break of day, While each heart with anguish broke; Though the way was dark throughout, Though fond hope was mixed with doubt, Yet an impulse made them brave— Holy love led to His grave. 2 Spices sweet and love they take, To their Master’s sacred tomb; Those on Him they fain would break, In yon dark sepulchral room, But their zeal is checked alone By this huge obstructing stone, And they find to their dismay That the stone was rolled away? 3 Sing we then our brightest lay, On the day our Lord arose, Since Christ’s resurrection day, Vanquished now are all our foes; Since He tasted death for us, We’re in Him victorious, And our Easter songs must own, Triumph came thro’ Christ alone.
