O Jesus, Joy of Loving Hearts

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, ca. 1091-1153; Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 572 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts, The fount of life and our true light, We seek the peace your love imparts And stand rejoicing in your sight. 2 Your truth unchanged has ever stood; You save all those who heed your call; To those who seek you, you are good, To those who find you-- all in all. 3 We taste you, Lord, our living bread, And long to feast upon you still; We drink of you, the fountainhead, Our thirsty souls to quench and fill. 4 For you our restless spirits yearn Where'er our changing lot is cast; Glad, when your presence we discern, Blest, when our faith can hold you fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay; Make all our moments calm and bright; Oh, chase the night of sin away, Shed o'er the world your holy light.

O Light of light, Love given birth; Jesus, Redeemer of the earth: more bright than day your face did show, your raiment whiter than the snow. 2.

May all who seek to praise aright through purer lives show forth your light. To you, the King of glory, now all faithful hearts adoring bow.

As Stars Adorn the Night-Veiled Sky

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky, Arrayed like jewels rare and bright, So shine God's saints in ev'ry age To give the world new hope, new light. 2 The light saints bear is not their own But shines through them as gift and sign: To show how God can use and bless Frail human means for ends divine. 3 Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ, The Morning Star that crowns the night, Whose rising heralds God's new day, The promised dawn of life and light. 4 That light is ours to claim and share, Not merely praise or gaze upon: For all who are baptized become Light-bearers through the Risen One. 5 The saints inspire and challenge us Our holy calling to embrace: To bear Christ's light in our own day, To be the vessels of God's grace.
