How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 1,677 hymnals Topics: Lent 2, The King and the Kingdom Conflict 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; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives 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 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. 6 Till then I would your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of your name refresh my soul in death.

O Sacred Head

Author: James Waddell Alexander; Paul Gerhardt; Henri Capieu Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 741 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year C First Line: O sacred head, sore wounded (Ô douloureux visage) Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown: how art thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; how does that visage languish which once was bright as morn! 2 Thy grief and bitter passion were all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the cruel pain. Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, turn not from me thy face; but look on me with favour, and grant to me thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend, for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to thee. 4 Be near me when I am dying, O show thy cross to me; and for my succour flying, come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, from thee shall not remove, for all who die believing, die safely through thy love. [French translation under copyright] Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE
