HOW SWEET THE NAME OF JESUS SOUNDS
Verse 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.
Verse 2
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
‘Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
Verse 3
Weak is 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.
Verse 4
Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Re-fresh my soul in death.
