Hymn 204

Play music
1. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In the 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 treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace:
4. 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.
