Nathaniel Bassey - How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds Lyrics

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In the believer's ear It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds And drives away his fear

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 treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace

Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian Friend My Prophet, Priest, and King My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End Accept the praise we bring

Weak is the effort of our heart And cold our warmest thought But when we see Thee as Thou art We'll praise Thee as we ought

Till then we would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath And triumph in that blessed Name Which quells the pow'r of death

Amen
