232. How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear,
And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest,
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 stores of grace!
With boundless stores of grace!

4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King.
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring,
Accept the praise I bring.
