Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee

How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah, this Nor tongue nor pen can show! The love of Jesus, what it is None but His loved ones know. Used With Tune: ST.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: Rev. John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,624 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his 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 Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend! My Prophet, Priest, and King! My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End! Accept the praise I bring. 4 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath: And may the music of Thy Name Refresh my soul in death.

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,226 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone; Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYN
