How Sweet The Name Of Jesus

How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds
In A Believer’s Ear!
It Soothes The Sorrows, Heals The Wounds,
And Drives Away All 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, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, And King,
My Lord, My Life, My Way, My End,
Accept The Praise I Bring.

The Effort Of My Heart Is Weak,
And Cold My Warmest Thought;
But When I See You Whom I Seek,
I’ll Praise You As I Ought.
