“For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” -Acts 4:12
1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear,
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drive away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast
‘Tis manner to the hungry soul!
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 store of grace.
4 Jesus, my shepherded savior friend
My Prophet, Priest and King
My lord, my Life, My Way, my End.
Accept the praise I bring.
5 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.
6 I would Thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death
