Deck Thyself with Joy and Gladness

Author: John Caspar Mattes, 1876-1948; Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself with joy and gladness, Dwell no more, my soul, in sadness; Let the daylight shine upon thee, Put thy wedding garment on thee, For the Lord of life unending Unto thee His call is sending; Come, for now the King most holy Stoops to thee in likeness lowly. 2 Hasten, then, my soul, to meet Him, Eagerly and gladly greet Him, As without He standeth knocking, Quickly, thy soul’s gate unlocking, Open wide the fast-closed portal, Saying to the Lord immortal, Come, and leave Thy servant never, Dwell within my heart forever. 3 Jesus, Source of life and pleasure, Truest Friend and dearest Treasure, Joy, the sweetest man e’er knoweth, Fount whence all my being floweth, Humbly now I bow before Thee, And in penitence adore Thee; Worthily let me receive Thee, Perfect peace and pardon give me.
