#620: How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
Apr. 23rd, 2019 11:40 pm Aren't the "name of Jesus" songs up in the "Festivals" section?
Yeah, usually. There's a lot of overlap.
Is this a "composer more famous for other things"?
Sort of, but those "other things" relate to one of his more famous hymns, so we'll get to that when we get to that. If we get to that. (Look, I spend a lot of nights just kind of...pre-sleep napping, and then I don't feel like blogging. IDK, maybe I need more iron or something.)
Didn't we just have the "prophet, priest, and king" motif in the previous song of this section?
Yep. It's a classic. As these things go.
"Owned" a child?
Yeah, this is a weird usage of "own" which occasionally shows up in the other direction, referring to our view of Jesus rather than vice versa. ("Come peasant, king, to own him" from "What Child is This"). It's not "possess" but more like "acknowledge." Different etymology, according to Wiktionary!
