How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

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

And drives away his fear

It soothes his sorrow

heals his wounds

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

And to the weary rest

’Tis manna to the hungry soul

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

With boundless stores of grace

Our never-failing treasury

filled

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

Accept the praise we bring

Our Lord

our Life

our Way

our End

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

We’ll praise Thee as we ought

But when we see Thee as Thou art

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

Which quells the pow’r of death

And triumph in that blessed Name

Which quells the pow’r of death.
