How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-25 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
and drives away his 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 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Lent III Year C; Proper 6 Year C Used With Tune: ST PETER

God is the refuge of his saints
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 462 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:25 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold him present with his aid.
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, thy holy word,
That all our raging fear controls:
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; The Church's Safety

on him alone we build;
with his true saints alone
the courts of heaven are filled.
On his great love
our hopes we place
of present grace
and joys above.
2 O then, with hymns of praise
these hallowed courts shall ring.
Our voices we will raise
the Three-in-One to sing,
and thus proclaim
in joyful song,
both loud and long,
that glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do thou
for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh.
In copious shower
on all who pray,
each holy day
thy blessings pour.
4 Here may we gain from heaven
the grace which we implore;
and may that grace, once given,
be with us evermore,
until that day
when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Topics: Call and Vocation; Gathering of the Community Used With Tune: HAREWOOD Text Sources: Latin (7th cent.)

Author: Samuel Johnson, 1822-1882 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24-25 Lyrics: 1 City of God, how broad and far
outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
of every age and clime:
2 One holy church, one army strong,
one steadfast, high intent;
one working band, one harvest-song,
one King omnipotent.
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
from man's primaeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
with never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
to meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
in vain the drifting sands:
unharmed upon the eternal Rock
the eternal city stands. Topics: Proper 4 Year A; Proper 24 Year A; The City Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:24 Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love,
unmerited and free,
delights our evil to remove,
and help our misery.
2 Thou waitest to be gracious still;
thou dost with sinners bear,
that, saved, we may thy goodness feel,
and all thy grace declare.
3 Thy goodness and thy truth to me,
to ev'ry soul abound,
a vast, unfathomable sea,
where all our thoughts are drowned.
4 Its streams the whole creation reach,
so plenteous is the store,
enough for all, enough for each,
enough for evermore.
5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are,
a rock that cannot move;
a thousand promises declare
thy constancy of love.
6 Throughout the universe it reigns,
unalterably sure;
and while the truth of God remains
the goodness must endure. Topics: Hope and Consolation; Redemption and Salvation Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY
