Lyrics
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 tho’t; 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 ev’ry fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.
