Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness

Author: J. Franck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #149 (1913) Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the daylight’s splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto him whose grace unbounded, Hath this wondrous banquet founded, High o’er all the heavens He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Haste to ope the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I never more will leave Thee." 3 Ah, how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing, In the battle well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 4 Now I sink before Thee lowly, Filled with joy most deep and holy, As with trembling awe and wonder On Thy mighty work I ponder, How by mystery surrounded, Depths no man hath ever sounded, None may dare to pierce unbidden, Secrets that with Thee are hidden. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth. At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Jesus, Bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee. By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me.

Jesus, the very thought is sweet

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #154 (1913) Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But O, than the honey sweeter far, The glimpses of His presence are. 2 No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 3 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that that mourn! To them that seek Thee, O how kind! But what art Thou to them that find? 4 Jesus, Thou sweetness, pure and blest, Truth’s fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 5 No tongue of mortal can express, No pen can write its blessedness: He only who hath proved it knows What bliss from love of Jesus flows. 6 O Jesus, King of wondrous might! O Victor, glorious from the fight! Sweetness that may not be expressed, And altogether loveliest! 7 Remain with us, O Lord, today! In every heart Thy grace display; That now the shades of night are fled, On Thee our spirits may be fed. 8 I seek for Jesus in repose, When round my heart its chambers close; Abroad, and when I shut the door, I long for Jesus evermore. 9 With Mary in the morning gloom I seek for Jesus at the tomb; For Him with love's most earnest cry, I seek with heart and not with eye. 10 Jesus, to God the Father gone, Is seated on the heavenly throne: My heart hath also passed from me, That where He is there it may be. 11 We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That He at last may make us meet With Him to gain the heavenly seat.
