How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,628 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:4 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes my sorrows, heals my wounds, and drives away my fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives the weary rest. 2 Dear name, the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace, Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest, and King, my Lord, my life, my way, my end-- accept the praise I bring. 3 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. Till then I would your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of your name refresh my soul in death.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 878 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:6 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to all, from heaven’s all-gracious King”: the world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world: above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing, and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and we at war on earth hear not the tidings that they bring; O, hush the noise and cease the strife to hear the angels sing! 4 And you, beneath life’s crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now, for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing: O, rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 5 For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.
