Title: How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds 
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear. 
It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 
Dear Name, the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace! 
Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring. 
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. 
Till then I would thy love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of thy Name refresh my soul in death!
