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