How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

It soothes my sorrows, heals my wounds, and drives away my fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives the weary rest. 2 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. 3 Weak is the effort of my heart and cold my warmest thought; but when I see you as you are, I'll praise you as I ought. Till then I would your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of your name refresh my soul in death.
