How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds

How sweet the name of Jesus

In a believer's ear?

It soothes his sorrows, 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.

Dear name!

The rock on which I build,

My Shield and Hiding-place;

My never-failing Treas'ry

With boundless stores of grace.

By thee my prayers acceptance

Although with sin defiled,

Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child.

Jesus, my Shepherd,

Husband,

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

With every fleeting breath;

And may the music of Thy

Refresh my soul in death.
