How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,664 hymnals Topics: Name of Jesus, The (New Year's Eve) Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away all fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole And calms the heart's unrest; It's 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 treasury filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By you my prayers acceptance gain Although with sin defiled. The devil charges me in vain, And God calls me his child. 5 O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my life, my way, my end, Accept the praise I bring. 6 I praise in weakness from afar-- How cold my warmest thought! But when I see you as you are, I'll praise you as I ought. 7 Till then I would your love proclaim With ev'ry fleeting breath; And may the music of your name Refresh my soul in death!
