Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 1,659 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The People of God 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, guardian, 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.

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,309 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode: on the rock of ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? with salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters springing from eternal love! well supply your sons and daughters and all fear of want remove: who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? grace, which like the Lord the giver never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering showing that the Lord is near: thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
