1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the heart's unrest;
'Tis manna 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 treas'ry, filled
With boundless stores of grace!
4 O Jesus! Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

1 ¡Cuán dulce el nombre de Jesús
al fiel en su dolor!
Alivia penas, da salud
y calma su temor.
2 Al pecho herido fuerzas da,
y calma al corazón;
al alma hambrienta es cual maná
y alivia su aflicción.
3 Tan dulce nombre es para mí
de dones plenitud,
raudal que nunca exhausto vi
de gracia y de salud.
4 Jesús, mi amigo y mi sostén,
mi Rey y Salvador,
mi vida y luz, mi eterno bien,
acepta mi loor.
