99. Blessed Be the Name

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.

Refrain:
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest. [Refrain]

3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place,
My never failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace! [Refrain]
