How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

So weak the effort of my heart

But when I see you as you are
E F# B
I’ll praise you as I ought
[Chorus]

The rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,

The endless source of grace,

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

Refresh my soul in death

My prophet, my priest, my brother and friend
