Joy to the World ‎#219

219. Sweet Sound

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.

Chorus:
O how I love Jesus,
Because he first loved me;
How can I forget thee?
Dear Lord, remember me.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest. [Chorus]

3 Dear Name! the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place;
My never-failing treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace. [Chorus]

4 I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death. [Chorus]
