[Verse 1]
D G D A
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
G A
In the believer’s ear
G D Em Bm
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 Em Bm
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 Em Bm
And may the music of your name
G A D
Refresh my soul in death
[Bridge]
D Em D/F# A/G
My prophet, my priest, my brother and friend

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