Verse 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In the believer’s ear
It soothes our sorrows heals our wounds
And drives away our fear
Verse 2
So weak the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought
But when I see you as you are
I’ll praise you as I ought
Chorus
The rock on which I build
My shield and hiding place with treasure filled
The endless source of grace
My shepherd and my king be ever praised
Verse 3
Till then I would your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul in death
Bridge
My prophet my priest my brother and friend
My Lord my life my way and my end
