Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #104 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast;
'T is manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
3 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.
4 Till then, I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Life Tune Title: ST. PETER
