| 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. By Thee my prayers
acceptance gain,
Although with sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,
And I am owned a child.
5. Jesus! my Shepherd,
Husband, Friend,
O Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life,
my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
6. 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.
7. Till then I would
Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath,
And may the music
of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death!
8. **alt verses
9. Blest Name, the rock
on which we build,
Our shield and hiding-place;
Our never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.
10. Jesus our Saviour,
Shepherd, Friend,
Prophet, and Priest and King,
Our Lord, our Life,
our Way, our End,
Accept the praise I bring.
11. Jesus, our Saviour,
Shepherd, Friend,
Thou Prophet, Priest and King,
Our Lord, our Life,
our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring.
12. O Jesus! Shepherd,
Guardian, Friend,
O Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life,
my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
13. Weak is the effort of our heart,
And cold our warmest thought;
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
We'll praise Thee as we ought.
14. Till then we would
Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And triumph in Thy blessed Name
Which quells the power of death.
