How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,624 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.

Instruction’s warning voice;
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice.

A length of happy days;
Riches with splendid honors joined
Are what her left displays.

In pleasure’s paths to tread,
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.

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

nor stars so nobly shine.

how pure is ev'ry page!

and well support our age.

Oh, for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 691 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' pressed by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last spark is fled
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up the dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this;
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en now the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Scripture: Luke 17:5 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

There Is A Land Of Pure Delight
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,402 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides
And never-with'ring flow'rs;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger shiv'ring, on the brink
And fear to launch away. A-men.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And view the Canaan that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes:
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Could fright us from the shore.
