Christ precious

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #255 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds 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 By him, my pray'rs acceptance gain, Although with sin defil'd; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am own'd a child. 4 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. 5 Till then, I would thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.

O may thy love possess me whole! My joy, my treasure, and my crown. 3 O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. 4 Unwearied may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire. 5 Still let thy love point out my way; How wondrous things thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray: Direct my work, inspire my thought. 6 In suff'ring be thy love my peace, In weakness be thy love my power, And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in the important hour.

Search, Lord, for thou canst tell; If aught can raise my passions thus, Or please my soul so well. 5 No, thou art precious to my heart, My portion and my joy; For ever let thy boundless grace My sweetest thoughts employ. 6 When nature faints, around my bed Let thy bright glories shine; And death shall all his terrors lose, In raptures so divine.
