Her name was found among that race
That Jesus must redeem.
5 Amidst this flock, beloved of God,
Manasseh we behold,
And though his fleece was stained with blood
He brought him to the fold.
6 Yea, from the dregs of sin and woe
Shall grace her trophies wave,
And each to glory safe shall go,
Whom God ordained to save.

Jesus’ name the sweetest sound.
1 T T OW sweet the name of Jesus sounds
n 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 Dear name, the rock on which I build—
My shield and hiding-place—
My never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my shepherd, husband, friend,
My prophet, priest, and king,
My Lord, my life, my way, my end,
Accept the praise I bring.
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.
