Hymn 287 — Jesus! life-giving sound,
| 287 | C. WESLEY (1707-1788) Adapted | 6.6.6.6.8.8. |
| 1 |
Jesus! life-giving sound, The joy of earth and heav'n; No other help is found, No other name is giv'n In which the sons of men can boast, Than His who seeks and saves the lost. | |
| 2 |
His Name the sinner hears And is from guilt set free; 'Tis music in his ears, 'Tis life and victory; His heart o'erflows with sacred joy, And songs of praise his lips employ. | |
| 3 |
Jesus! all praise above; We sing Thy blessed Name, We sing Thy dying love, Thy rising power proclaim: But soon, to give Thee worthy praise, Both heav'n and earth their songs shall raise. | |
