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.
Dear Name! The Rock On Which I Build,
My Shield, And Hiding-Place,
My Never-Failing Treasury, Filled
With Boundless Stores Of Grace!
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 Proclaim
With Every Fleeting Breath;
And May The Music Of Thy Name
Refresh My Soul In Death!
