Lyrics

Verse 1

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believers ear! It sounds His sorrows heals His wounds, And drives away his fear, And drives away His fear.

Verse 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.

Verse 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, I'll praise Thee as I ought.

Verse 4

Till then I would Thy love proclaim with every fleeting breathe, And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death, Refresh my soul in death.
