Tell me the old, old story

Author: Arabella Catherine Hankey, 1834-1911 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: The Temple Bible Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above, of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. Tell me the story simply, as to a little child; for I am weak and weary, and helpless, and defiled. Refrain: Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story of Jesus and His love. 2 Tell me the story slowly, that I may take it in, — that wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin. Tell me the story often, for I forget too soon; the early dew of morning has passed away at noon: [Refrain] 3 Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave; remember, I'm the sinner whom Jesus came to save. Tell me the story always, if you would really be, in any time of trouble, a comforter to me. [Refrain] 4 Tell me the same old story, when you have cause to fear that this world's empty glory is costing me too dear. Yes, and when that world's glory shall dawn upon my soul, tell me the old, old story, 'Christ Jesus makes thee whole.' [Refrain] Used With Tune: TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1806 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,665 hymnals Topics: The Temple Praise 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; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives 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. 6 Till then I would Your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of Your name refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: LLOYD Text Sources: Adapt.: Compilers of Hymns of Today's Church, 1982

Hvor stor er dog den Glæde

Author: Kingo Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Church, God's Temple Lyrics: 1 Hvor stor er dog den Glæde, At man med Jesus maa I Herrens Tempel træde, Og i hans Forgaard staa! Den Lyst, den Ro, den Ære Kan aldrig siges ud, Naar Sjælen den maa være Sin Frelsers Kirkebrud. 2 Op Sjæl, og agt vel nøie Din Jesu Kirkefærd! Gud gaar for hver Mands Øie, Og la'r sig lede her Udaf Forældres Hænder I Lydighedens Baand, Som selv al Jordens Ender Og Himlen har i Haand. 3 O Tempel, hvad din Lykke Paa denne Dag er stor, At Jesus selv vil smykke Din Helligdom og Kor! Gid Hjerterne kan vilde Annamme hannem saa, Som han, al Naadens Kilde, I dem vil gjerne bo. 4 Men ak, Guds Tempels Ære Er lagt i Støvet ned, Enhver sig selv kan lære, Af Jesus Faa kun veed; Hans Ord, hans Himmel-Tale, Hans Prædiken, hans Flid Tør man med Spot betale, Og trodse Naadens Tid. 5 Iblandt de Lærdes Skare Sig Jesus sætter ned, At høre og forfare, Hvad de om hannem veed; De søge Skriften nøie, Men Jesus kjendes ei, Som staar for deres Øie, Thi Stolthed siger: nei. 6 O Jesus, gid du vilde Mit Hjerte danne saa, Det baade aarl' og silde Dit Tempel være maa! Du selv min Hjerne vende Fra Verdens kloge Flok, Og lær mig dig at kjende, Saa har jeg Visdom nok!
