How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #279 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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; It's 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 you my prayers acceptance gain Although with sin defiled. The devil charges me in vain, And God calls me his 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 I praise in weakness from afar-- How cold my warmest thought! But when I see you as you are, I'll praise you as I ought. 7 Till then I would your love proclaim With ev'ry fleeting breath; And may the music of your name Refresh my soul in death!

O Love that wilt not let me go

Author: George Matheson, 1842 - 1906 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #402 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830 - 69 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #482 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand; The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within a wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat And burdens of the day. 2 Upon that Cross of Jesus, Mine eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess: The wonders of his glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O Cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of his face: Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the Cross.

On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found. 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. 5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and he is on the throne. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 7 It is enough; earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Languages: English Tune Title: PAX TECUM
