How Sweet The Name of Jesus Sounds Lyrics

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear

It soothes his sorrows

Heals his wound

And drives away his fear

It makes the wounded spirit whole

And calms the troubled breast

Tis manna to the hungry soul

And to the weary rest

Dear name! the Rock on which I build

My shield, and hiding-place

My never-failing treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace

Jesus, my Shepherd, Botherer

Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End

Accept the praise I bring

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

Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath

And may the music of Thy name

Refresh my soul In death
