How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #12 (1854) 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 treasure, filled With boundless stores of grace! 4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Savior, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. 5. 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. 5. Till then, I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death. Languages: English Tune Title: SALEM

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "SALEM" in Sing a New Creation In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
