VERSE 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear;
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear.
VERSE 2
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul!
And to the weary rest.
VERSE 3
Dear name, the Rock on which I build
My shield and hiding-place,
My never-failing treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace.
VERSE 4
Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend
My Prophet, Priest and King
My Lord, my LIfe, my Way, my End.
Accept the praise I bring.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 6
I would Thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
