153. Jesus! Life-giving Sound

6.6.6.6.8.8.
1
Jesus! life-giving sound,
 
The joy of earth and heaven;
 
No other help is found,
 
No other name is given,
 
In which the sons of men can boast,
 
But 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 heaven and earth their songs shall raise.
