Jesus Is The Sweetest Name I Know

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

The name of Jesus brings:

Help to the helpless, —  peace to the tormented,  —  rest to the restless,  —  hope to the hopeless, and  —  comfort to the comfortless.  

This name has cooled the fevered brow, —  broken the chains of sin, —  delivered the captive, and  —  thrilled the saint.  

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.

Chorus:

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 blessed name, let us all acclaim,   —   That wondrous, glorious name of Jesus. - - -

And someday 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 blessed Son of God called Jesus. - - -

The Unclouded Day

Revelation 22:2,5  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

[5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

This is the place that Jesus went to prepare [John 14:2]. 

The Bible gives us a description that boggles the mind and goes far beyond anything that we as humans can imagine. 

This is a glimpse of the believer’s new home.

The Unclouded Day

___________________

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,    —    Oh, they tell me of a home far away;    —    Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,    —    Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day.

CHORUS:

Oh, the land of cloudless day,    —    Oh, the land of an unclouded sky, — Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,    —    Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day. - - -

Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone, — Oh, they tell me of that land far away,    —    Where the tree of life in eternal bloom    —    Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day. - - -

Oh, they tell me of a King in His beauty there,    —    And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold    —    Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,    —    In the city that is made of gold. - - -

Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there, — And His smile drives their sorrows all away; — And they tell me that no tears ever come again — In that lovely land of unclouded day. - - -

I Must Tell Jesus

 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

When we are burdened it touches the heart of God, and He is moved on our behalf.

I Must Tell Jesus

________________

I must tell Jesus all of my trials,    —    I cannot bear these burdens alone; — In my distress He kindly will help me, — He ever loves and cares for His own.

CHORUS:

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!    —    I cannot bear my burdens alone; — I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus! — Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

I must tell Jesus all of my troubles,    —    He is a kind, compassionate Friend; — If I but ask Him He will deliver, — Make of my troubles quickly an end.

O how the world to evil alures me?    —    O how my heart is tempted to sin? — I must tell Jesus, and He will help me — Over the world the vict’ry to win.

Joy Unspeakable

1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Have we weathered the storms of life and seen God come through time and again?

If so, this ought to cause us to rejoice with that unspeakable joy and full of glory. 

Joy Unspeakable

________________

I have found His grace is all complete,    —   He supplieth every need;    —   While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet,    —   I am free, yes, free indeed.

CHORUS:

It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,    —   Full of glory, full of glory;    —   It is joy unspeakable and full of glory,    —   Oh, the half has never yet been told.

I have found the pleasure I once craved,    —   It is joy and peace within;    —   What a wondrous blessing, I am saved  — From the awful gulf of sin. - - -

I have found that hope so bright and clear    —   Living in the realm of grace; — Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near, —   I can see His smiling face. - - -

I have found the joy no tongue can tell,    —   How its waves of glory roll;    —   It is like a great o’erflowing well,    —   Springing up within my soul. - - -

It Is Well With My Soul

Psalm 55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

The fact is, no one can run from problems. We must face them with the help of the Lord.

As we commune with our blessed Redeemer, we can be peacefully assured that all is well with our soul no matter what happens.   

It Is Well With My Soul

_____________________

When peace like a river attendeth my way,    —    When sorrows like sea billows roll;    —    Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know    —    It is well, it is well, with my soul.

CHORUS:

It is well, (it is well), — With my soul, (with my soul)  —  It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come — Let this blest assurance control,    —    That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, — And hath shed His own blood for my soul. - -

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!    —    My sin, not in part but the whole,    —    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,    —    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! - - -

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, — The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; — The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, — “Even so” it is well with my soul. - - -

Because He Lives

John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

In a world of turmoil we can lean on God-given Heavenly peace.

We can trust Him to take care of His own - Phil. 4:6-7; Isa. 26:3.

Because He lives we can face tomorrow.

Because He Lives 

_____________________

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus;    —    He came to love, heal and forgive; — He lived and died to buy my pardon, — An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,    —    Because He lives, all fear is gone; — Because I know He holds the future, — And life is worth the living,    —    Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby, — And feel the pride and joy he gives;  — But greater still the calm assurance:  — This child can face uncertain days because He Lives! - - -

And then one day, I'll cross the river, — I'll fight life's final war with pain; — And then, as death gives way to victory, — I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Face to Face

 Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Our blessed hope as believers separates us from the rest of the world.

We are looking for Christ because scripture tells us that He is coming for us — 1Thes 4:13-18. 

Some day we will see Him face to face. What a day that will be!

Face to Face

__________________________________

Face to face with Christ my Savior,   —   Face to face what will it be    —   When with rapture I behold Him,  —  Jesus Christ who died for me? 

CHORUS:

Face to face I shall behold Him, — Far beyond the starry sky; —Face to face in all His glory,    —   I shall see Him by and by!

Only faintly now I see Him — With the darkling veil between, —   But a blessed day is coming — When His glory shall be seen. - - - 

What rejoicing in His presence,    —   When are banished grief and pain; — When the crooked ways are straightened,  — And the dark things shall be plain. - - -

Face to face- oh, blissful moment!     —   Face to face to see and know;—Face to face with my Redeemer, — Jesus Christ who loves me so. - - -
