289 ST. PETER C. M.

Alexander R. Reinagle, 1826

I How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear!

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast;

'Tis Manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary Rest.

4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build, 5 Weak is the effort of my heart,

My Shield and Hiding-place,

My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace;

And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.

291 HOLY TRINITY C. M.

Sir Joseph Barnby, 1861

I Jesus, the ver y thought of Thee With sweet-ness fills my

breast;

But sweet-er far Thy face to see, And in Thy pres-ence rest. A-MEN.

2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, 4 But what to those who find? Ah, this Nor can the memory find,

A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name, O Saviour of mankind.

3 O Hope of every contrite heart, O Joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind Thou art! How good to those who seek! Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153.)

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.

Tr. Rev. Edward Caswall, 1849: verse 4, 1. 4, alt.

Fain would I sound it out so loud That earth and heaven should hear. AMEN.

3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.

4 Finish, then, Thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be:
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Rev. Charles Wesley, 1747: verse 2, ll. 4, 5, alt.
