How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #357 (1997) Scripture: Mark 6:14 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;
'tis 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, guardian, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end:
accept the praise I bring.
5 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought,
but when I see thee as thou art
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death.

"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast."

So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.

"I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright."

In him my star, my sun;

1 Oí la voz del Salvador
decir con tierno amor:
"¡Oh! ven a mí, no temas más,
cargado pecador!"
Cansado estaba, y sin tardar
a Cristo acudí,
Y luego dulce alivio y paz
por de él recibí.
2 Oí la voz del Salvador
decir: "Venid, bebed;
yo soy la fuente de salud
que apaga toda sed".
Con sed de Dios, del vivo Dios,
buscando al Emanuel,
lo hallé; mi sed él apagó,
y ahora vivo en él.
3 Oí su dulce voz decir:
"Del mundo soy la luz;
miradme a mí, y salvos sed;

O God, in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Glory to God #30 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Mark 6:1-13 Lyrics: 1 O God, in a mysterious way
great wonders you perform.
You plant your footsteps in the sea
and ride upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
of never-failing skill,
you treasure up your bright designs
and work your sovereign will.
3 O fearful saints, fresh courage take.
The clouds you so much dread
are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.
4 Our unbelief is sure to err
and scan your work in vain.
You are your own interpreter,
and you will make it plain.

turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for his dear sake.

of the vain world's golden store;
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."

Saviour, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Call and Vocation; Andrew; Discipleship; Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWALD

Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in his justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of the mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of our Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in his blood.
