The Name of Jesus

I thought I would post this hymn today to encourage others.


How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Names of Christ


How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals, his wounds, And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul And to the weary, rest.

Dear name! the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding place;
My never failing treasure, filled With boundless stores of grace!

Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, My prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept this praise I bring.

Till then I would Thy love proclaim With ev 'ry fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

You can hear the music at Cyber Hymnal.


This song came to me one day while driving to the mall.



A New Song

Beautiful Is His Name

Beautiful is His name, the name above all other names,
The name of Jesus.
At His name, all knees must bow in heavn and on the earth,
At the name of Jesus.
For, no other name, is filled with power, and authority,
Majesty and dominion over all the earth,
The name of the Lord.
Beautiful is His name.
Beautiful is His name.
Beautiful is the name of the Lord.

Beautiful is his name, the name of God's beloved son,
The name of Jesus.
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Mighty God,
Is our Lord Jesus.
At His very name, all knees must bow in heavn and on the earth.
For He reigns in power over all the earth,
Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Beautiful is His name.
Beautiful is His name.
Beautiful is the name of the Lord.
