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

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