1. How sweet the name of Jesus

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer’s ear It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds And drives aways 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 while I build My shield and hiding place My never-failing treasury filled With boundless stores of graces.

Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour 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.

I would Thy boundless love proclaim With every fleeting breath; So shall the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death
