53 – 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.

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 in 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 Thee love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.
