HOW SWEET THE NAME OF JESUS SOUNDS
1. How sweet the
Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's
ear!
It soothes his
sorrow, 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 we build;
Our shield and
hiding place;
Our never-failing
treasury, filled
With boundless
stores of grace.
4. Jesus, our
Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
Our Prophet,
Priest, and King;
Our Lord, our Life,
our Way, our End,
Accept the praise
we bring.
5. Weak is the
effort of our heart,
And cold our
warmest thought;
But when we see
Thee as Thou art,
We'll praise Thee
as we ought.
6. Till then we
would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting
breath;
And triumph in that
blessed Name
Which quells the
pow'r of death.
