How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds
Verse 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds
And drives away his fear

Verse 2
It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast
'Tis manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary rest

Verse 3
Dear name the Rock on which I build
My shield and hiding place
My never failing treasurey filled
With boundless stores of grace

Verse 4
Jesus my Shepherd Brother Friend
My Prophet Priest and King
My Lord my Life my Way my End
Accept the praise I bring

Verse 5
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
