How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

  Mode: MP3/MIDI
  1. How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
      In a believer's ear!
    It soothes his sorrow, 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 we build;
      Our shield and hiding-place;
    Our never-failing treasury, filled
      With boundless stores of grace.
  4. Jesus, our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
      Our Prophet, Priest, and King;
    Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
      Accept the praise we bring.
  5. 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.
  6. Till then we would Thy love proclaim
      With every fleeting breath;
    And triumph in that blessed Name
      Which quells the pow'r of death.

    7. (Repeat the last two lines of each stanza)
