When we say the name of Jesus, we get His person. He is everything we need and everything we can ever want. He heals us, He hides us, He guides us, He warms our hearts and He fights for us. The name of Jesus is sweet to our ears.
1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer’s ear! It soothes his sorrow, 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 we build; Our shield and hiding-place; Our never-failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus, our Savior, Shepherd, Friend, Our Prophet, Priest, and King; Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End, Accept the praise we bring. 5 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. 6 Till then we would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And triumph in that blessed Name Which quells the pow’r of death.
