The name "Jesus"

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 99 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Jesus!--the very thought is sweet Lyrics: 1 Jesus!--the very thought is sweet; In that dear name all heart-joys meet; But sweeter than sweet honey far The glimpses of his presence are. No word is sung more sweet than this: No name is heard more full of bliss; No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh, Than Jesus, Son of God most high. 2 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn, How good to them for sin that mourn! To them that seek thee, oh, how kind! But what art thou to them that find? Jesus, thou sweetness, pure, and blest, Truth's fountain, light of souls distressed, Surpassing all that heart requires, Exceeding all that soul desires! 3 No tongue of mortal can express, No letters write, its blessedness: Alone who hath thee in his heart Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art, We follow Jesus now, and raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise, That he at last may make us meet With him to gain the heavenly seat.

With cheerful Voice I sing

Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Characters of Christ Lyrics: [1 With chearful Voice I sing The Titles of my Lord, And borrow all the Names Of Honour from his Word, Nature and Art Can ne'er supply Sufficient Forms Of Majesty. 2 In Jesus we behold His Father's glorious Face, Shining for ever bright, With mild and lovely Rays: Th' Eternal God's Eternal Son Inherits and Partakes the Throne.] 3 The Sov'reign King of Kings, The Lord of Lords most high, Writes his own Name upon His Garment and his Thigh. His Name is call'd The Word of God, He rules the Earth With iron Rod. 4 Where Promises and Grace Can neither melt nor move, The angry Lamb resents The Inj'ries of his Love; Awakes his Wrath Without Delay, As Lions roar, And tear the Prey. 5 But when for Works of Peace The great Redeemer comes, What gentle Characters, What Titles he assumes? Light of the World, And Life of Men; Nor will he bear Those Names in vain. 6 Immense Compassion reigns In our Immanuel's Heart, When he descends to act A Mediator's Part. He is a Friend, And Brother too; Divinely kind, Divinely true. 7 At length the Lord the Judge His awful Throne ascends, And drives the Rebels far From Favourites and Friends. Then shall the Saints Completely prove The Heights and Depths Of all his Love.

Jesus, thou Son of David, hear-- Have mercy, too, on me. 3 And didst thou pity mortal woe, And sight and health restore? Then pity, Lord, and save my soul, Which needs thy mercy more. 4 Didst thou regard thy servant's cry, When sinking in the wave? I perish, Lord, oh, save my soul! For thou alone canst save.

His chariot will not long delay; We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray, Triumphant Lord, appear! 3 Appear, and thy own flock protect, Avenge thy own despised elect, And make thy glory known. Gird on thy sword, thou King of kings, And smite through all inferior things That dare usurp thy throne.
