how sweet the name of jesus sounds in a believers ear it soothes his sorrows heals his wounds 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 i build my shield and hiding place my never failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace  jesus my shepherd saviour friend my prophet priest and king my lord my life my way my end accept the praise i bring  weak is the effort of my heart and cold my warmest thought but when i see thee as thou art ill praise thee as i ought  till then i would thy love proclaim with every fleeting breath and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death
