Jesus Christ, who stands between

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, who stands between Angry heaven and guilty men, Undertakes to buy our peace; Gives the covenant of grace; Ratifies and makes it good; Signs and seals it with his blood. 2 Life his healing blood imparts, Sprinkled in our peaceful hearts; Abel's blood for vengeance cried, Jesus speaks us justified; Speaks and calls for better things; Makes us prophets, priests, and kings.

Jesus, delightful, charming name!

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, delightful, charming name! It spreads a fragrance round; Justice and mercy, truth and peace, In union here are found, 2 He is our life, our joy, our strength; In him all glories meet; He is a shade above our heads, A light to guide our feet. 3 The thickest clouds are soon dispersed, If Jesus shows his face; To weary, heavy-laden souls He is the resting-place. 4 When storms arise and tempests blow, He speaks the stilling word; The threatening billows cease to flow, The winds obey their Lord.
