Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #351 (1977) Lyrics: 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.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
3 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
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. Topics: Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: [How sweet the name of Jesus sounds]
