[Verse 1]

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In the believer’s ear

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds

And drives away our fear

So weak the effort of my heart
F G
And cold my warmest thought

But when I see you as you are
F G C
I’ll praise you as I ought
[Chorus]

The rock on which I build,
F G C
My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,
F G C
The endless source of grace,
F G C
My shepherd and my king, be ever praised

Till then I would, your love, proclaim

With every fleeting breath,

And may the music of your name
F G C
Refresh my soul in death

My prophet, my priest, my brother and friend

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