O how I love the Saviour's name

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 1,627 hymnals 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. Refrain: O how I love the Saviour’s name; So do I; I love the Saviour’s name. 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 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 will thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.

Angels, from the realms of Glory

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Appears in 767 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of Glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth: Ye, who sang creation’s story, Now proclaim Messiah’s birth. Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light. Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In his temple shall appear. Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Sinners moved by true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you, break your chains. Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Birth

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-75) Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name. 2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness, High on his heart he will bear it for thee, Comfort thy sorrows and answer thy prayerfulness, Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be. 3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness Of the poor wealth thou would’st reckon as thine; Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness, These are the offerings to lay on his shrine. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, He will accept for the name that is dear; Morning of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear. 5 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim; With gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness, Kneel and adore him, the Lord is his name. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Praise and worship
