How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer’s ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds

And drives away his fear

2

Dear name, the Rock on which I build

My Shield and Hiding Place

My never failing treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace

3

Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend

My Prophet, Priest and King

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End

Accept the praise I bring

4

Dear Lord, I would Thy name proclaim

With ev’ry fleeting breath

And may the music of Thy name

Refresh my soul in death

1

O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,

On whom in affliction I call,

My comfort by day, and my song in the night,

My hope, my salvation, my all!

2

Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,

To feed them in pastures of love

Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,

Or alone in this wilderness rove?

3

Oh! why should I wander an alien from Thee,

Or cry in the desert for bread

Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,

And smile at the tears I have shed.

4

He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,

And myriads wait fo His word

He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,

Reechoes the praise of the Lord.

5

Dear Shepherd! I hear, and will follow Thy call

I know the sweet wound of Thy voice

Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all,

And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Amen.

Is there anyone can help us,

One who understand our hearts,

When the thorns of life have pierced them till they bleed

One who sympathizes with us,

Who in wondrous love imparts

Just the very, very blessing that we need?

Yes, There's One! only One!

The blessed, blessed Jesus, He's the One!

When affliction press the soul,

When waves of trouble roll.

4

Is there anyone can help us,

When we come to Jordan's shore,

And we needs must cross to get to Zion's hill

Who will go beside to guide us,

Till our blackest fears give o'er

And we cross in peace because he's with us still?

Yes, There's One! only One!

The blessed, blessed Jesus, He's the One!

When affliction press the soul,

When waves of trouble roll.

And you need a Friend to help you, He's the One!

1

In fancy I stood by the shore, one day,

Of the beautiful murm'ring sea

I saw the great crowds as they thronged the way

Of the Stranger of Galilee

I saw how the man who was blind from birth,

In a moment was made to see

The lame was made whole by the matchless skill

Of the Stranger of Galilee.

And I felt I could love Him forever,

So gracious and tender was He!

I claimed Him that day as my Savior,

This Stranger of Galilee.

2

His look of compassion, His words of love,

They shall never forgotten be

When sin-sick and helpless He saw me there,

This Stranger of Galilee

He show'd me His hand and His riven side,

And He whispered "It was for thee!"

My burden fell off at the pierced feet

Of the Stranger of Galilee.

And I felt I could love Him forever,

So gracious and tender was He!

I claimed Him that day as my Savior,

This Stranger of Galilee.

3

I heard Him speak peace to the angry waves,

Of that turbulent, raging sea

And lo! at His word are the waters stilled,

This Stranger of Galilee

A peaceful, a quiet, and holy calm,

Now and ever abides with me

He holdeth my life in His mighty hands,

This Stranger of Galilee.

And I felt I could love Him forever,

So gracious and tender was He!

I claimed Him that day as my Savior,

This Stranger of Galilee.

4

Come, ye who are driven and tempest toss'd,

And His gracious salvation see

He'll quiet life's storms with His "Peace, be still!"

This Stranger of Galilee

He bids me to go and the story tell,

What He ever to you will be,

If only you let Him with you abide,

This Stranger of Galilee.

Oh my friend, won't you love Him forever,

So gracious and tender is He!

Accept Him today as you Savior,

This Stranger of Galilee.

1

Jesus, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills my breast

But sweeter far Thy face to see,

And in Thy presence rest.

2

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,

Nor can the mem'ry 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 ask, how kind Thou art!

How good to those who seek!

4

But what to those who find? ah! this

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 thro eternity. Amen.

1

The best friend to have is Jesus,

He will help you when you fall,

With the loved ones who have gone before,

He will help you when you fall,

He will hear you when you call

My Lord has garments so wondrous find,

And myrrh their texture fills

Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine,

With joy my being thrills.

Out of the ivory palaces

Into a world of woe,

Only His great eternal love,

Made my Saviour go.

2

His life had also its sorrows sore,

For aloes had a par

And when I think of the cross He bore,

My eyes with teardrops start.

Out of the ivory palaces

Into a world of woe,

Only His great eternal love,

Made my Saviour go.

3

His garments, too, were in cassia dipped,

With healing in a touch

Each time my feet in some sin have slipped,

He took me from its clutch.

Out of the ivory palaces

Into a world of woe,

Only His great eternal love,

Made my Saviour go.

4

In garments glorious He will come,

To open wide the door

And I shall enter my heav'nly home,

To dwell forevermore.

Out of the ivory palaces

Into a world of woe,

Only His great eternal love,

Made my Saviour go.

1

I have found a friend in Jesus, He's ev'rything to me,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see

All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.

In sorrow He's my comfort in trouble He's my stay,

He tells me ev'ry care on Him to roll.

He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

2

He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne

In temptation He's my strong and mighty tow'r

I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn

From my heart, and now He keeps me by His pow'r.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore,

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal

He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

3

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,

While I live by faith and do His blessed will

A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,

With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.

Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore,

Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal

He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star,

He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. Amen.

Walk in His ways with singing.

Sing Christ, and grief overthrown,

Hopelessness chang'd to chorus!

Rough and beset with fighting,

To those of His delighting.

All my sorrows are His own.

Safe with Him from earthly strife.
