How Sweet The Name

Lyrics

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer’s ear!

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds

And drives away our fear

It makes the wounded spirit whole

And heals our brokenness;

It's manna to the hungry soul

And to the weary, rest


Just one name I adore

Just one name awakes my soul

Just one name above them all

Jesus


Jesus! my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend

O Prophet, Priest and King

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End

Accept the praise I bring

Dear Name, the Rock I build upon

My Shield and Hiding Place

My never failing treasury

With boundless stores of grace!


So weak the effort of my heart

And cold my warmest thought;

But when I see You as You are

I’ll sing forevermore

Till then, I will, Your love proclaim

With every fleeting breath

And may the music of Your Name

Refresh my soul in death!
