1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.

2 Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns!

Let men their songs employ ;

3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make his blessings flow
As far as sin is found.

4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains The glories of his righteousness,

Repeat the sounding joy.

Beatitudo.

And wonders of his love.

Lord, it be-longs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve thee is my share, And this thy grace must give.

I LORD, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;

To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.

2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;

If short, yet why should I be sad

To soar to endless day?

3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;

He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.

I JESUS! delightful, charming name!
It spreads a fragrance round;
Justice and mercy, truth and peace,
In union here are found.

2 He is our life, our joy, our strength;
In him all glories meet;

He is a shade above our heads,

A light to guide our feet.

3 When storms arise and tempests blow,

He speaks the stilling word;

The threatening billows cease to flow,
The winds obey their Lord.

4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet 4 The thickest clouds are soon dispersed

Thy blessèd face to see;

For, if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be?

If Jesus shows his face;
To weary, heavy-laden souls

He is the resting-place.

The Lord hath builded for himself, He needs no earthly dome; The u - niverse his

I O SACRED Head! now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down;

Now scornfully surrounded

With thorns, thy only crown!
O Sacred Head! what glory,
What bliss till now was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.

2 What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this, thy dying sorrow,

Thy pity without end?
O, make me thine forever;
And, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to thee!
3 Be near when I am dying,

O, show thy cross to me!
And for my succor flying,
Come, Lord, to set me free!
These eyes, new faith receiving,
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing,

Dies happy through thy love,

I O BLESSED retrospection,
That deepens as we gaze!

O tender recollections
Of dear departed days!
O sweet and sacred memories,
That flood the past with light!
O Spirit of the Risen,

Renew our souls to-night!

2 While for this glad reunion
We come in sweet accord,
On every waiting spirit

Bestow thy blessing, Lord!
Accept our deep thanksgiving,
Our Father, that thy care,
Thy brooding love and kindness,
Hath kept us everywhere.

3 All the dear fold, O Father,
Bring home in spirit now;
The present and the absent,
Help to renew their vow;
When, far from this loved altar,
Our weakness, Lord, we see,
Wilt thou, to feet that falter,
New strength and courage be!

4 Lord, let thy sacred presence
Go with us when we part,
And may this glad reunion

Bind close our hands and hearts.
To every holy purpose

The better life to live,
O, may this sweet refreshing,
New consecration give!
