How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds
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.
By Thee My Prayers Acceptance Gain,
Although With Sin Defiled;
Satan Accuses Me In Vain,
And I Am Owned A Child.
Jesus, My Shepherd, Guardian, 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 Proclaim
With Every Fleeting Breath;
And May The Music Of Thy Name
Refresh My Soul In Death!
