How Sweetly Flowed the Gospel's Sound

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 358 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How sweetly flowed the Gospel’s sound From lips of gentleness and grace While listening thousands gathered round, And joy and gladness filled the place! 2. From Heav’n He came, of Heav’n He spoke, To Heaven He led His followers’ way; Dark clouds of gloomy night He broke, Unveiling an immortal day. 3. Come, wanderers, to My Father’s home; Come, all ye weary ones, and rest. Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey Thee, love Thee, and be blest. 4. Decay, then, tenements of dust! Pillars of earthly pride, decay! A nobler mansion waits the just, And Jesus has prepared the way. Used With Tune: ST. BONIFACE (Barnby) Text Sources: Matins and Vespers, 1823

We sing the praise of Him who died

Author: Rev. Thos. Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 187 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him Who died, Of Him Who died upon the cross: The sinner's hope let men deride: For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, God is love: He bears our sins upon the tree: He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross--it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above. Amen. Topics: Love Of God Used With Tune: [We sing the praise of Him who died]
