How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E27 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his 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 By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, And 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.

When I Can Read My Title Clear

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E28 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.
