Lyrics
[Verse 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.
[Verse 2]
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
[Verse 3]
Dear Name, the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding-place,
My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.
[Verse 4]
Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
[Verse 5]
I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.
