How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,616 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our 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 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
4 How weak the effort of my heart,
how cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
5 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death.

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less
Author: Edward Mote Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,083 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:11-12 Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. (Refrain)
3 His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. (Refrain)
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. (Refrain)

To the Name of Our Salvation
Author: John M. Neale; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay;
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.
3 'Tis the name for adoration;
'Tis the name of victory;
'Tis the name for meditation
In this vale of misery;
'Tis the name for veneration
By the citizens on high.
4 'Tis the name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near:
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth
Heavenly joy possesseth here.
5 Jesus is the name prevailing
Over every name by right;
At this name, in terror wailing,
Powers of hell are put to flight;
God, in mercy never failing,
Saves us by this name of might.
6 Therefore we in love adoring
This most blessed name revere,
Holy Jesus, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here
That hereafter, heavenward soaring,
We may sing with angels there.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH

The Church's One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 856 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:11 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the Word.
From heav'n he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses
With ev'ry grace endued.
3 Through toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blessed,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
4 Yet she on earth has union
With God, the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
O blessed heav'nly chorus!
Lord, save us by your grace
That we, like saints before us,
May see you face to face.

with thy wonted lovingkindness,
hear thy people as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls for aye.
3 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever,
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
4 Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever One,
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,895 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
stained by sin, to thee I fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through realms unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Death and Bereavement; God in grace and mercy; God names and imags of Used With Tune: PETRA (REDHEAD No. 76)

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed;
3 Bore it up triumphant,
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory
of that perfect rest.
4 Christians, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father's glory
o'er the earth to reign;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
