How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Melody - St. Peter

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. Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5. I would Thy boundless love proclaim
With ev'ry fleeting breath;
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
