How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,676 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Love 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, is 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 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, 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.

Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out As year succeeds to year; God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, Wherever foot has trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God: Give ear to me, ye continents, Ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is worthless toil Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Used With Tune: PURPOSE

God is our Refuge and our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Ways Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge and our Strength, Our ever present aid, And, therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most high has his abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when his voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before his mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
