Be Thou My Vision
Author: Mary Elizabeth Byrne; Eleanor H. Hull Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 159 hymnals Topics: Reward First Line: Be thou my vision, O joy of my heart Lyrics: 1 Be thou my vision, O joy of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art,
thou my best thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
2 Be thou my wisdom, my calm in all strife;
I ever with thee, and thou in my life;
thou loving parent, thy child may I be,
thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee.
3 Be thou my battle shield, sword for the fight;
be thou my dignity, thou my delight,
thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tower;
raise thou my heavenward, O power of my power.
4 Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise,
thou mine inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.
5 Great God of heaven, after victory won,
may I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O ruler of all. Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Irish, ca. 8th century

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

The melodious songs of the blest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. [Chorus]

For the glorious gift of his love,
And the blessings that hallow our days. [Chorus]

Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Topics: Rewards Lyrics: 1 Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious;
see the Man of Sorrows now;
from the fight returned victorious,
ev'ry knee to him shall bow.
Crown him! Crown him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
2 Crown the Savior, angels, crown him;
rich the trophies Jesus brings;
in the seat of pow'r enthrone him,
while the vault of heaven rings.
Crown him! Crown him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
3 Sinners in derision crowned him
mocking thus the Savior's claim;
saints and angels crowd around him,
own his title, praise his name:
Crown him! Crown him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame!
4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown him! Crown him!
King of kings and Lord of lords.
Scripture: Philippians 2:9-11 Used With Tune: CORONAE

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 1,331 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
O, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
2 There, generous fruits that never fail,
On trees immortal, grow;
There rocks and hills and brooks and vale,
With milk and honey flow.
O'er all those wide, extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ, the sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his kingdom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless, I'd launch away. Used With Tune: VARINA
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Reward Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our Hope, our heart's Desire,
Maker and God of all,
The Word in latter days made flesh,
Redeemer from the fall!
2 How vast the mercy and the love
Which laid our sins on Thee,
And led Thee to a cruel death,
To set Thy people free!
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid;
And Thou art on Thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed.
4 O may Thy mighty love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare!
O may we come before Thy throne,
And fine acceptance there!
5 O Christ, be Thou our present Joy,
Our future great Reward;
Our only glory may it be
To glory in the Lord!
Amen.

Jesu, Joy of Our Desiring
Author: Martin Janus; Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Reward Lyrics: 1 Jesu, joy of our desiring,
holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by you, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round your throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in you confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
You, forever, lead your own
in the love of joys unknown. Used With Tune: JESU, JOY (WERDE MUNTER)
Jesu, Joy of Our Desiring
