How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds (St Peter)

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear It soothes our sorrows, heals these wounds, and drives away our 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, shepherd, guardian, friend My Prophet, Priest, and King My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End Accept the praise I bring Weak the effort of my heart How cold, my warmest thought But when I see you as you are I'll praise you as I ought 'Til then I would your love proclaim With every fleeting breath And may the music of your name Refresh my soul in death
