How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Hymnal: BW1870 #175 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our 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 By Him my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am own'd a child. 4 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. 5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim, With ev'ry fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

Jesus! the very thought of Thee

Hymnal: BW1870 #176 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the very thought of Thee With gladness fills my breast; But dearer far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. 2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Thy blest name, O Saviour of mankind! 3 O Hope of ev'ry contrite heart, O joy of all the meek! To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 And those who find Thee, find a bliss Nor tongue nor pen can show: The love of Jesus--what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only joy be Thou! As Thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our glory now, And through eternity!

O Jesus! King most wonderful

King most wonderful, Thou Conqueror renown'd; Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found!-- 2 When once Thou visitest the heart, Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love divine. 3 O Jesus, Light of all below! Thou Fount of life and fire! Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire,-- 4 May ev'ry heart confess Thy name, And ever Thee adore; And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee more and more. 5 Thee may our tongues forever bless; Thee may we love alone; And ever in our life express The image of Thine own.

O love divine, how sweet thou art!

Hymnal: BW1870 #178 (1870) Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my willing heart All taken up by thee? I long and thirst, and faint ti prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell; Its riches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire, in vain, its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. 3 Oh, that I could forever sit, With Mary, at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice; My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 Oh, that I could, with favor'd John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care, and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest.
