110 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 troubl d 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 treas ry, fill d With boundless stores of grace.

4 By thee my pray rs acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled ; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am own d a child.

5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King ; My Lord, my life, my way, my end, Accept the praise I bring.

6 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.

7 Till then I would thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.

1 I WILL praise thee every day, Now thine anger s turn d away ! Comfortable thoughts arise From the bleeding sacrifice.
