York Minster Choir - How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds (St Peter) Lyrics

Lyrics How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds (St Peter) - York Minster Choir



How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear
It soothes our sorrows, heals these wounds, and drives away our 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 we build
Our shield and hiding-place
Our never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace
Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend
My Prophet, Priest, and King
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End
Accept the praise I bring
Weak the effort of my heart
How cold, my warmest thought
But when I see you as you are
I'll praise you as I ought
'Til then I would your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul in death
