The name of Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Hymnal: Laudes Domini #203 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: There is a name I love to hear Lyrics: 1 There is a name I love to hear; I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in mine ear-- The sweetest name on earth. 2 It tells me of a Saviour's love Who died to set me free; It tells me of his precious blood-- The sinner's perfect plea. 3 It tells me of a Father's smile Beaming upon his child; It cheers me through this "little while," Through desert, waste, and wild. 4 It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my smallest woe-- Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below. 5 It bids my trembling soul rejoice, And dries each rising tear; It tells me in a "still small voice," To trust, and not to fear.

'Tis from the treasures of his word

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXLVII (1766) Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 'Tis from the Treasures of his Word I borrow Titles or my Lord; Nor Art nor Nature can supply Sufficient Forms of Majesty. 2 Bright Image of the Father's Face, Shining with undiminish'd Rays; Th' Eternal God's Eternal Son, The Heir and Partner of his Throne. 3 The King of Kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own Name upon his Thigh; He wears a Garment dipt in Blood, And breaks the Nations with his Rod. 4 Where Grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injur'd Love, Awakes his Wrath without Delay, And Judah's Lion tears the Prey. 5 But when for Works of Peace he comes, What winning Titles he assumes? Light of the World; and Life of Men; Nor bears those Characters in vain. 6 With tender Pity in his Heart, He acts the Mediator's Part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the Name he wears. 7 At Length the Judge his Throne ascends, Divides the Rebels from his Friends, And Saints in full Fruition prove His rich Variety of Love.

With cheerful Voice I sing

His Name is call'd The Word of God, He rules the Earth With iron Rod. 4 Where Promises and Grace Can neither melt nor move, The angry Lamb resents The Inj'ries of his Love; Awakes his Wrath Without Delay, As Lions roar, And tear the Prey. 5 But when for Works of Peace The great Redeemer comes, What gentle Characters, What Titles he assumes? Light of the World, And Life of Men; Nor will he bear Those Names in vain. 6 Immense Compassion reigns In our Immanuel's Heart, When he descends to act A Mediator's Part. He is a Friend, And Brother too; Divinely kind, Divinely true. 7 At length the Lord the Judge His awful Throne ascends, And drives the Rebels far From Favourites and Friends. Then shall the Saints Completely prove The Heights and Depths Of all his Love. Languages: English
