Paroles de How Sweet The Name

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrow, 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 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
