The Song of Songs 1:3

• [Sos 1:3] How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds

  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 treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace! By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, O Prophet, Priest and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I’ll praise Thee as I ought. Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath, And may the music of Thy Name Refresh my soul in death!

• [Sos 1:3] Jesu, The Virgins’ Crown

  Jesu, the virgins’ Crown, do Thou Accept us as in prayer we bow, Born of that virgin whom alone The mother and the maid we own. Amongst the lilies Thou dost feed, And thither choirs of virgins lead, Adorning all Thy chosen brides With glorious gifts Thy love provides. And whither, Lord, Thy footsteps wend, The virgins still with praise attend; For Thee they pour their sweetest song, And after Thee rejoicing throng. O gracious Lord, we Thee implore Thy grace on every sense to pour; From all pollution keep us free, And make us pure in heart for Thee. All praise to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee, Whom with the Spirit we adore For ever and for evermore.

• [Sos 1:3] Jesus Is The Sweetest Name I Know

  There have been names that I have loved to hear, But never has there been a name so dear To this heart of mine, as the Name divine, The precious, precious Name of Jesus. Refrain Jesus is the sweetest name I know, And He’s just the same as His lovely Name, And that’s the reason why I love Him so; Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know. There is no name in earth or Heav’n above, That we should give such honor and such love As the blessèd Name, let us all acclaim, That wondrous, glorious Name of Jesus. Refrain And some day I shall see Him face to face To thank and praise Him for His wondrous grace, Which He gave to me, when He made me free, The blessèd Son of God called Jesus. Refrain

The Song of Songs 2:17

• [Sos 2:17] ’tis Night—but O The Joyful Morn

  ’Tis night—but O the joyful morn Will soon our waiting spirits cheer; Yon gleams of coming glory warn Thy saints, O Lord, that Thou art near. Lord of our hearts, beloved of Thee, Weary of earth, we sigh to rest, Supremely happy, safe and free, For ever on Thy tender breast. To see Thee, love Thee, feel Thee near, Nor dread, as now, Thy transient stay; To dwell beyond the reach of fear Lest joy should wane or pass away. Children of hope, belovèd Lord! In Thee we live, we glory now; Our joy, our rest, our great reward, Our diadem of beauty, Thou! And when exalted, Lord, with Thee, Thy royal throne at length we share; To everlasting Thou shalt be Our diadem, our glory there!

The Song of Songs 8:14

• [Sos 8:14] Fly, Ye Seasons

  Fly, ye seasons, fly still faster; Let the glorious day come on, When we shall behold our Master Seated on His heavenly throne; Then the Savior Shall descend to claim His own. What is earth with all its treasures, To the joy the Gospel brings? Well may we resign its pleasures, Jesus gives us better things; All His people Draw from Heaven’s eternal springs. But if here we taste of pleasure, What will Heaven itself afford? There our joy will know no measure; There we shall behold our Lord; There His people Shall obtain their bright reward. Fly, ye seasons, fly still faster; Swiftly bring the glorious day; Jesus, come, our Lord and Master! Come from Heaven without delay; Take Thy people, Take, O take us hence away!
