263 2 9:253 bb 2 25 19:25 153 Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matt. i: 21. I How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, 3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build, 4 Though weak the effort of my heart, 5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim 6 0 Jesus, Shepherd, Father, Friend, Accept the praise I bring. Dox. IV. 154 Thou shalt call his name JESUS, for he shall save his people from their sins. I To the Name of our Salvation We may sing aloud to-day. 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, 4 In our days of misery, '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. I Lo, the pilgrim Magi Leave their royal halls, Speed to Bethlehem's walls; 2 Oh, what joys ecstatic Thrilled each heart, from far, When, to guide their footsteps Gleamed that beacon star; O'er that home so holy, Pouring down its ray, Where the cradled Infant With His mother lay. 3 Costly pomp and pageant Earthly kings array; He, a mightier Monarch, Hath a nobler sway; Matt. ii: 9. Straw may be His pallet, In that Babe adore: As their followers true, 5 Holiest Love presenting, Gold unto our King; Vow and prayer address; |
