How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals 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.

For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold. 3. In her right hand she holds to view A length of happy days; Riches with splendid honors joined Are what her left displays. 4. She guides the young with innocence, In pleasure’s paths to tread, A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 5. According as her labors rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. Used With Tune: ST. PETER (Reinagle) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781

O come and sing to the God, the Lord, To Him our voices raise; Let us in our most joyful songs The Lord, our Savior, praise. 2.

O come and, bowing down to Him, Our worship let us bring; O let us praise the gracious Lord, Our Maker and our King. A version from the 1650 Scottish Psalter: 1. O come, let us sing to the Lord, To Him our voices raise; With joyful noise let us the rock Of our salvation praise. 2. Let us before His presence come With praise, and thankful voice; Let us sing psalms to Him with grace, And make a joyful noise. 3. For God’s a great God, and great King; Above all gods He is. The depths of earth are in His hands; The heights of hills are His. 4. To Him the spacious sea belongs, For He the same did make; The dry land also from His hands Its form at first did take. 5. O come, and let us worship Him; Let us bow down withal, And on our knees before the Lord, Our maker, let us fall. Used With Tune: ST.
