Jesus! Dear Name, How Sweet It Sounds!

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals First Line: Jesus! dear name, how sweet it sounds Lyrics: 1. Jesus! dear name, how sweet it sounds! Replete with balm for all our wounds: His Word declares His grace is free, Come, needy sinner, Come and see. 2. He left the shining courts on high, Came to our world to bleed and die; Jesus the Lord hung on a tree, Come, thoughtless sinner, Come and see. 3. Your sins did pierce His bleeding heart, Till death had done its dreadful part; His boundless love extends to thee, Come, trembling sinner, Come and see. 4. His blood can cleanse the foulest stain, Can make the vilest sinner clean; This fountain open stands for thee, Come, guilty sinner, Come and see. Used With Tune: WARD

Author: J. Henry Gilmore Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,327 hymnals First Line: He leadeth me: O blessed thought! Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me: O blessed thought! O words with heav'nly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 4 And when my task on earth is done, When, by Thy grace, the vict'ry's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WARD

Psalm 72

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 192 hymnals First Line: Great God! whose universal sway Lyrics: 1 Great God! whose universal sway The known and unknown worlds obey; Now give the kingdom to thy Son; Extend his power, exalt his throne. 2 As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall he send his influence down; His grace, on fainting souls, distills Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills. 3 The heathen lands, that lie beneath The shades of everspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight. 4 The saints shall flourish in his days, Dressed in the robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river, from his throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.
