Brother, hast thou wandered far

Author: Dr. J. F. Clarke, 1810- Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Sinners Exhorted Lyrics: 1 Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy Father's happy home, With thyself and God at war? Turn thee, brother; homeward come. 2 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave? Squandered life's most golden hours? Turn thee, brother; God can save. 3 Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul? Discontent upon thy brow? Turn thee; God will make thee whole. 4 He can heal thy bitterest wound, He thy gentlest prayer can hear; Seek Him, for He may be found; Call upon Him; He is near. Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Refrain: Angels of Jesus, angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night! 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, "Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;" And, through the dark its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the Gospel leads us home. [Refrain] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea, And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing, King Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain] 4 Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and dark-some night be passed; Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain] 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping, Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 1,670 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners 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.
