How sweet the name

- How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
- In a believer's ear;
- It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
- And drives away his fear.
- It makes the wounded spirit whole,
- And calms the troubled breast;
- 'This manna to the hungry soul
- And to the weary, rest,
- 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, Saviour, Friend,
- My Prophet, Priest, and King;
- My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
- Accept the praise I bring,
- Accept the praise I bring.
- 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.
- I would Your boundless love proclaim
- With every fleeting breath;
- So shall the music of Your name
- Refresh my soul in death,
- Refresh my soul in death
