How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds

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 Husband Friend
O Prophet Priest and King
My Lord my Life my Way my End
Accept the praise I bring

Dear name the Rock on which I build
My Shield and Hiding place
My never failing treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace

4
By Thee my prayers acceptance gain
Although with sin defiled
Satan accuses me in vain
And I am owned a child

5
Jesus my Shepherd Husband Friend
O Prophet Priest and King
My Lord my Life my Way my End
Accept the praise I bring

6
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

7
Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death
