How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,616 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 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;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
3 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,083 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:11-12 Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain)
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. (Refrain)

To God Be the Glory
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:21 First Line: To God be the glory, great things he has done! Refrain First Line: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 To God be the glory, great things he has done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that we may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thro' Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he has done!
2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To ev'ry believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus forgiveness receives. (Refrain)
3 Great things he has taught us, great things he has done,
and great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
but purer and higher and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. (Refrain)

To the Name of Our Salvation
Author: John M. Neale; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the name for adoration;
'Tis the name of victory;
'Tis the name for meditation
In this vale of misery;
'Tis the name for veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 'Tis the name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near:
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth
Heavenly joy possesseth here.
5 Jesus is the name prevailing
Over every name by right;
At this name, in terror wailing,
Powers of hell are put to flight;
God, in mercy never failing,
Saves us by this name of might.
6 Therefore we in love adoring
This most blessed name revere,
Holy Jesus, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here
That hereafter, heavenward soaring,
We may sing with angels there.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH

of rocks and trees, of skies and seas

in rustling grass I hear him pass

The Lord is King, let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad.

My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro' all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
3 Jesus!--the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avails for me.
5 Look unto Him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race.
Look and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
6 See all your sins on Jesus laid;
The Lamb of God was slain;
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
7 Glory to God and praise and love
Be ever, ever given,
By saints below and saints above,
The church in earth and heaven.

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:11 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the Word.
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 Through toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace
That we, like saints before us,
May see you face to face.

with thy wonted lovingkindness,
hear thy people as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls for aye.
3 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever,
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever One,
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run.

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry E. Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:29 Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your power;
crown your ancient Church’s story,
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn your Christ, assail his ways!
Fears and doubts too long have bound us–
free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
3 Heal your children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the gift of your salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving you whom we adore,
serving you whom we adore. Topics: The Christian Life Loyalty and Courage; Conflict, Spirtual; Spirits, Evil; Spiritual Conflict; Courage; Recessional Hymns; Christian Service; Evil Spirits Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
