RCCG Hymn 114
How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
"For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear; It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds And drives away his fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul! And to the weary rest.
Dear name, the Rock on which I build My shield and hiding-place, My never-failing treasury filled With boundless stores of grace.
Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend My Prophet, Priest and King My Lord, my LIfe, my Way, my End. Accept the praise I bring.
Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art I'll praise Thee as I ought.
I would Thy boundless love proclaim With every fleeting breath; So shall the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.
