How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrow
heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
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
And to the weary rest.
Dear Name! the Rock on which we build;
Our shield and hiding-place;
Our never-failing treasury
filled
With boundless stores of grace
With boundless stores of grace.
Jesus
our Savior
Shepherd
Friend
Our Prophet
Priest
and King;
Our Lord
our Life
our Way
our End
Accept the praise we bring
Accept the praise we bring.
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
We’ll praise Thee as we ought.
Till then we would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And triumph in that blessed Name
Which quells the pow’r of death
Which quells the pow’r of death.
