Author: John Newton Hymnal: CEL1997 #123 (1997) 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;
'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 Treasured, filled
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. Topics: Magnify the Lord; Adoration and Praise Jesus Our Savior Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
