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 Treasured, filled With boundless stores of grace! 4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, My Prophet, Priest and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring.
