How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Matching Instances: 185 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.

In Him meet south and north;
All Christly souls are one in Him
Throughout the whole wide earth.

O Happy Is the Man Who Hears
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1. O happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice;
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2. 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

How Shall the Young Secure Their Hearts
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 474 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts
and guard their lives from sin?
Your Word, O LORD, the truth imparts
to keep the conscience clean.
2 Your Word is like a heav'nly light
that guides us all the day,
and through the dangers of the night
a lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heav'ns your rule obey,
the earth maintains its place;
and these your servants night and day
your skill and pow'r express.
4 But still your law and gospel, LORD,
have lessons more divine;
not earth stands firmer than your Word
nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Your Word is everlasting truth;
how pure is ev'ry page!
That holy book will guide our youth
and well support our age.

For some surprising sin,

The victories of my King!

Shall Thy salvation bring.

And drowned them in His blood.

Nor think the season long. Used With Tune: ST. PETER (Reinagle) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
