#644. How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
|
||||||||
|
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) O Jesus! Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, O Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring.
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.
