How sweet and precious is the name

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 How sweet and precious is the name Of Jesus Christ, the Lord, the Lamb, To sinners in distress! A name just suited to their case; Pregnant with mercy, truth, and grace, With strength and righteousness. 2 [His name, as Jesus, suits them well; He saves from sin, wrath, law, and hell, From guilt and slavish fears. His name is Wonderful indeed; An able Counsellor, to plead, Just suits a case like theirs.] 3 [Immanuel! thrice-blessèd name! The God we trust is still the same! An endless Father, He; A most illustrious Prince of Peace; A Tower, a precious Hiding-place, Is Jesus Christ to me.] 4 [Yes, if his name be Lord of Hosts, Of his almighty power I’ll boast; He all my foes shall quell; He’s all the helpless soul can need; No ointment put on Aaron’s head, Could give so sweet a smell.] 5 In him the Gentile church shall trust; Of him shall sing; of him shall boast; On him cast all their care; He is their God, and they shall know What his almighty power can do, Nor death, nor danger fear.

Sinners Married to Christ

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: My soul with holy wonder views Lyrics: 1 My soul with holy wonder views The love the Lord the Saviour shows, To wretched, dying man; So strange, so boundless is his grace, He takes the vilest of our race With him to live and reign. 2 He’ll charm them with a holy kiss, And make them know what union is; He’ll draw them to his breast; A smiling eye upon them cast, Which brings them to his feet in haste, Each singing, “I am blest! 3 “I’m blest, I’m blest, for ever blest; My rags are gone, and I am dressed In garments white as snow; I’m married to the Lord the Lamb, Whose beauties I can ne’er explain, Nor half his glory show.” Topics: Salvation and Free Grace

The Sabbath

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Sabbath was a day of rest Lyrics: 1 The Sabbath was a day of rest; The day the Lord Jehovah blest; A lively type of Christ; The labouring poor may venture here; The guilty banish all their fear, And lean on Jesus’ breast. 2 When foes without, and foes within, Wrath, law, and Satan, guilt and sin, The child of God molest; Fatigued with sin, distressed with fear, He enters into Christ, and there He finds a settled rest. 3 Jesus is Zion’s only rest; Thrice happy is the man, and blest, That into him believes; His six days’ toil is finished then; His slavish fear for ever gone; By faith in Christ he lives. 4 [A precious resting-place indeed; Whatever weary pilgrims need Is richly treasured here. Here sinners may commune with God, And drink full draughts of heavenly love, Nor death nor danger fear.] 5 O may I ever rest in him, And never, never stray again, Nor after strangers roam; Dear Jesus, fix my roving heart, Nor ever let me from thee start, Till thou shalt take me home.
