 Hymn A & M 192- 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 treasury, 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.

5. Weak is the effort of my heart,

and cold my warmest thought;

but when I see thee as thou art,

I'll praise thee as I ought.

6. Till then I would thy love proclaim

with every fleeting breath;

and may the music of thy Name

refresh my soul in death!
