\nHow sweet the name of Jesus sounds
\nIn a believer’s ear!
\nIt soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
\nAnd drives away his fear.<\/p>\n
2
\nIt makes the wounded spirit whole,
\nAnd calms the troubled breast;
\n“Tis manna to the hungry soul,
\nAnd to the weary, rest.<\/p>\n
3
\nDear name, the rock on which I build,
\nMy shield and hiding place,
\nMy neverfailing treasury, filled
\nWith boundless stores of grace.<\/p>\n
4
\nJesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
\nMy Prophet, Priest, and King!
\nMy Lord, my life, my way, my end!
\nAccept the praise I bring.<\/p>\n
5
\nWeak is the effort of my heart,
\nAnd cold my warmest thought;
\nBut when I see Thee as Thou art,
\nI’ll praise Thee as I ought.<\/p>\n
