Verse 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believers ear
It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds And drives away his fear
It makes the wounded Spirit whole And calms the troubled breast
it satisfies the hungry soul, And to the weary rest
Verse 2
Dear name the Rock on which I build My shield my 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
Verse 3
Weak is the effort of my heart And cold my warmest thought
But when I see You as You are I'll praise You as I ought
Till then I would Your love proclaim With every fleeting breath
So may the music of Your name Refresh my soul in death
