 And angels are attending near,

To bear him to their bright abode.

O Lord! that we may thus depart,

Thy joys to share, Thy face to see,

Impress Thine image on our heart,

And teach us now to walk to Thee.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In the believer's ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast;

'Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary, rest.

Dear Name! the Rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place;

My never failing treas'ry, filld

With boundless stores of grace.

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.

Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With ev'ry fleeting breath;

And may the music of Thy Name

Refresh my soul in death.
