How Sweet The Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast
'Tis manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary rest
Dear name! The rock on which we build
Our shield and hiding-place
Our never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace
Jesus, our savior, shepherd, friend
Our prophet, priest, and king
Our lord, our life, our way, our end
Accept the praise we bring
Weak is the effort of our heart
And cold our warmest thought
But when we see thee as thou art
We'll praise thee as we ought
Till then we would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And triumph in that blessed name
Which quells the pow'r of death
