How Sweet the Name

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds

And drives away his fear

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

And to the weary, rest

Weak is the effort of my heart

And cold my warmest thought

But when I see you as you are

I'll praise you as I ought

I'll praise you as I ought

I'll praise you as I ought
