Jesus, Thou Soul of All Our Joys (EN 4895)

EN 4895 Jesus, Thou Soul of All Our Joys

1Cor.14.15

Versi Version 1

1

Jesus, Thou soul of all our joys,

For Whom we now lift up our voice,

And all our strength exert;

Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim,

Compose into a thankful frame,

And tune Thy people’s heart.

2

While in the heavenly work we join,

Thy glory be our whole design,

Thy glory, not our own:

Still let us keep our end in view,

And still the pleasing task pursue,

To please our God alone.

3

The secret pride, the subtle sin,

O let it never more steal in,

To offend Thy glorious eyes,

To desecrate our hallowed strain,

And make our solemn service vain,

And mar our sacrifice!

4

To magnify Thy awful Name,

To spread the honors of the Lamb,

Let us our voices raise;

Our souls’ and bodies’ powers unite,

Regardless of our own delight,

And dead to human praise.

5

Still let us on our guard be found,

And watch against the power of sound

With sacred jealousy;

Lest haply sense should damp our zeal,

And music’s charms bewitch and steal

Our hearts away from Thee.

6

That hurrying strife far oft remove,

That noisy burst of selfish love,

Which swells the formal song;

The joy from out our hearts arise,

And speak and sparkle in our eyes,

And vibrate on our tongue.

7

Thee let us praise, our common Lord,

And sweetly join with one accord

Thy goodness to proclaim:

Jesus, Thyself in us reveal,

And all our faculties shall feel

Thy harmonizing Name.

8

With calmly reverential joy,

O let us all our lives employ

In setting forth Thy love;

And raise in death our triumph higher,

And sing with all the heavenly choir,

That endless song above!
