Author: John Newton Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #232 (1982) 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,
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,
And to the weary rest.
3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding Place;
My never-failing Treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace!
With boundless stores of grace!
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King.
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring,
Accept the praise I bring. Topics: Jesus Christ His Name Languages: English Tune Title: [How sweet the name of Jesus sounds]
