How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,712 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away all fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole And calms the heart's unrest; '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 By thee my prayers acceptance gain Although with sin defiled. The devil charges me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my way, my end, Accept the praise I bring. 6 How weak thee effort of my heart, How cold my warmest thought; But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 7 Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death! Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Let our vesper hymn be blending with the holy calm around. Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen! Let our vesper hymn be blending with the holy calm around. 2 Soon as dies the sunset glory, stars of heav’n shine out above, telling still the ancient story their Creator’s endless love. Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen! Telling still the ancient story their Creator’s changeless love. 3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving to our God who cares for all, cease we fearing, cease we grieving; touched by God our burdens fall. Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen! Cease we fearing, cease we grieving; touched by God our burdens fall. 4 As the darkness deepens o’er us, lo! Eternal stars arise. Hope and faith and love rise glorious, shining in the Spirit’s skies. Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen! Hope and faith and love rise glorious, shining in the Spirit’s skies.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-77; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 141 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me, Long my heart was burning, And my soul was yearning, Lord, with you to be! Yours I am, O spotless Lamb; Nothing I'll allow to hide you, Nothing ask beside you. 2 In your arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their bitter storms assail me; Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy you; Death, I now decry you; Fear, I bid you cease. World, you cannot harm me Nor your threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great pow'r guards ev'ry hour; Earth and all its depths adore him, Silent bow before him. 4 Hence, all earthly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story Told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross Shall not from my Savior move me Since he deigns to love me. 5 Hence, all fears and sadness, For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. For, whate'er I must bear, Still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE
