How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds Hymn Lyrics

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.

2  It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast;

‘Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary rest.

3  Dear Name, the Rock on which I build,

My Shield and Hiding-place,

My never-failing Treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace.

4  Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend,

My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,

Accept the praise I bring.

5  I would Thy boundless love proclaim

With every fleeting breath;

So shall the music of Thy Name

Refresh my soul in death.
