How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole and calms the troubled breast, is manna to the hungry soul and to the weary rest. 3 Dear name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace: 4 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend, my prophet, priest and king, my Lord, my life, my way, my end, accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you as you are I'll praise you as I ought.

How Sure the Scriptures Are!

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are! God's vital, urgent word, as true as steel, and far more sharp than any sword: so deep and fine, at his control they pierce where soul and spirit join. 2 They test each human thought, refining like a fire; they measure what we ought to do and to desire: for God know all - exposed it lies before his eyes to whom we call. 3 Let those who hear his voice confronting them today, reject the tempting choice of doubting or delay: for God speaks still - his word is clear, so let us hear and do his will!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 544 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow's sun; The longer wisdom you despise The harder is she to be won. 2 Oh, hasten, mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow's sun; For fear thy season should be o'er Before this evening's course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn, Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow's sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest, Before the morrow is begun, Topics: Holy Spirit Vanity and uncertainty of life; Today

Hymn 125

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 420 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above; His heart is made of tenderness, His bowels melt with love. Touched with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood, While Satan's fiery darts he bore, And did resist to blood. He in the days of feeble flesh Poured out his cries and tears, And in his measure feels afresh What every member bears. [He'll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruised reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest name.] Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain deliv'ring grace In the distressing hour.

Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"? 3 Hallelujah! King eternal, thee the Lord of lords we own: Hallelujah! born of Mary, earth thy footstool, heaven thy throne.

Heb. 4:14-16: Where high the heav'nly temple stands

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 First Line: Where high the heav'nly temple stands Lyrics: Where high the heav’nly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth his precious blood, Pursues in heav’n his mighty plan, The Saviour and the friend of man. Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother’s eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. Our fellow-suff’rer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, his agonies, and cries. In ev’ry pang that tends the heart, The Man of sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the suff’rer sends relief. With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aids of heav’nly pow’r To help us in the evil hour.
