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

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, Saviour, 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.

6.I would Thy boundless love proclaim

With every fleeting breath;

So shall the music of Thy Name

Refresh my soul in death.
