Tune: St. Peter
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 each heart oppressed;
’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!
By You my prayers acceptance gain,
Although by sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,
As now I am God’s child.
Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
O 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 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!
