There Is a Name I Love to Hear

Author: Frederick Whitfield, 1829-1904 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 569 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a name I love to hear; I love to sing its worth: It sounds like music in mine ear, The sweetest name on earth. 2 It tells me of a Savior's love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner's perfect plea. 3 It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe, Who in my sorrow bears a part That none can bear below. 4 Jesus! the name I love so well, The name I love to hear; No saints on earth its worth can tell, No heart conceive how dear.

Too Many, Lord, Abuse Thy Grace

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace, In this licentious day; And while they boast they see Thy face, They turn their own away. 2. Thy Book displays a gracious light That can the blind restore; But these are dazzled by the sight, And blinded still the more. 3. The pardon, such presume upon, They do not beg, but steal; And when they plead it at Thy throne, Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal? 4. Was it for this, ye lawless tribe, The dear Redeemer bled? Is this the grace the saints imbibe From Christ the living Head? 5. Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few Are fed with heavenly fare; But these, the wretched husks they chew Proclaim them what they are. 6. The liberty our hearts implore Is not to live in sin; But still to wait at wisdom’s door, Till mercy calls us in. Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
