The name of Jesus.

HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ears! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fears.

It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.

Dear name! the rock on which I build, My shield and hiding-place; My never-failing treas'ry, fill'd With boundless stores of grace.

Jesus! my shepherd, husband, friend, My prophet, priest, and king, My Lord, my life, my way, my end! Accept the praise I bring.
