Besnault, d. 1724 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #158 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Circumcision and Name of Jesus Lyrics: 1 The ancient Law departs, And all its fears remove, For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of love. 2 The Light of Light Divine, True brightness undefiled, He bears for us the pain of sin A holy, spotless Child. 3 His infant body now Begins the cross to feel: Those precious drops of blood that flow For death the Victim seal. 4 Today the name is Thine At which we bend the knee. They call Thee Jesus, Child Divine; Our Jesus deign to be. 5 All praise, eternal Son, For Thy redeeming love, With Father, Spirit, ever One In glorious might above.

Seemeth it sad, my soul, to Thee Under the yoke to lie? 4 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from His birth takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 5 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright endless year.

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Church Book #221 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Circumcision Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our 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 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled: Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 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. 6 Till then, I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy Name Refresh my soul in death.
