How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Praise of the Lord
Hymns, #66
(Repeat the last two lines of each stanza for the chorus)

Gow sweet the Name of C
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In G beEmever’s Aar!D
In a believer’s ear!
It Goothes his sorrow, Ceals his D
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
And Crives Dway his G
And drives away his fear.

And Grives away his C
And drives away his fear,
And Grives aEmy his Aear,D
And drives away his fear,
It Goothes his sorrow, Ceals his D
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
And Crives Dway his G
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.

Dear Name! the Rock on which we build;
Our shield and hiding-place;
Our never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.

Jesus, our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King;
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring.

Weak is the effort of our heart,
And cold our warmest thought;
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
We’ll praise Thee as we ought.

Till then we would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And triumph in that blessed Name
Which quells the pow’r of death.
