[Verse 1]
F# B F# C#
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
B C#
In the believer’s ear
B F# G#m D#m
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds

And drives away our fear
[Verse 2]
F# B F# C#
So weak the effort of my heart
B C#
And cold my warmest thought
B F# G#m D#m
But when I see you as you are
B C# F#
I’ll praise you as I ought
[Chorus]
F#/B C# F#
The rock on which I build,
B C# F#
My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,
B C# F#
The endless source of grace,
B C# F#
My shepherd and my king, be ever praised
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F# B F# C#
Till then I would, your love, proclaim
B C#
With every fleeting breath,
B F# G#m D#m
And may the music of your name
B C# F#
Refresh my soul in death
[Bridge]

My prophet, my priest, my brother and friend

My Lord, my life, my way and my end.
