How Sweet The Name of Jesus Sounds (WARWICK) - Beautiful Old Hymn

Hello my friends, happy Friday! This lovely text was based on and inspired by many scripture passages, but reminds me quite a bit of the verses in Amazing Grace. You can even sing this text to the tune of Amazing Grace, it has the same meter! (What is meter in musical terms? See here: en.wikipedia.o.... ) So get ready, let's sing the beautiful name of Jesus together. 💖
P.s. Greetings from Loretto on Wednesday!
🎶
Cantor (fancy word for singer): KT

How Sweet The Name of Jesus Sounds

Tune: WARWICK by Samuel Stanley

1 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 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 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.
4 Till then, I would Thy love proclaim
With ev'ry fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

Good morning Kathryn. Thankyou for singing this beautiful hymn. I have known and loved it for a very long time. We have sung it often in our army church in Germany but to the tune of St Peter. I have listened to your tune a few times now and I love it and I am learning it. Loretto is so beautiful and I would love to see it one day. The weather here in England is not very much like summer. It is not very warm, lots of rain and hardly any sunshine. Getting ready for Lourdes soon but the weather in France is not any better. With love and best wishes. Dorita.

Hello Jim! Loretto really is a beautiful and special place - whenever I need to get there by Uber, the drivers are always astonished to drive up to this gem hidden in the city.
