How sweet the name of Jesus soundsA
In a believer's earB
It soothes his sorrows heals his woundsC
And drives away his fearD
-
It makes the wounded spirit wholeE
And calms the troubled breastF
'Tis Manna to the hungry soulE
And to the weary restF
-
Dear name The rock on which I buildG
My Shield and Hiding placeH
My never failing Treas'ry filledG
With boundless stores of graceH
-
By thee my prayers acceptance gainI
Although with sin defiledG
Satan accuses me in vainI
And I am owned a childG
-
Jesus my Shepherd Husband FriendG
My Prophet Priest and KingJ
My Lord my Life my Way my EndG
Accept the praise I bringJ
-
Weak is the effort of my heartG
And cold my warmest thoughtG
But when I see Thee as Thou artG
I'll praise Thee as I oughtG
-
Till then I would Thy love proclaimK
With every fleeting breathL
And may the music of Thy nameK
Refresh my soul in deathL
