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