How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
  In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
  And drives away his fear,
  And drives away his fear,
  And drives away his fear,
It soothes his sorrow, heals his wounds,
  And drives away his fear.
2
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
  And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
  And to the weary rest,
  And to the weary rest,
  And to the weary rest,
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
  And to the weary rest.
3
Dear Name! the Rock on which we build;
  Our shield and hiding-place;
Our never-failing treasury, filled
  With boundless stores of grace,
  With boundless stores of grace,
  With boundless stores of grace,
Our never-failing treasury, filled
  With boundless stores of grace.
4
Jesus, our Savior, Shepherd, Friend,
  Our Prophet, Priest, and King;
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
  Accept the praise we bring,
  Accept the praise we bring,
  Accept the praise we bring,
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
  Accept the praise we bring.
5
Weak is the effort of our heart,
  And cold our warmest thought;
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
  We’ll praise Thee as we ought,
  We’ll praise Thee as we ought,
  We’ll praise Thee as we ought,
But when we see Thee as Thou art,
  We’ll praise Thee as we ought.
6
Till then we would Thy love proclaim
  With every fleeting breath;
And triumph in that blessed Name
  Which quells the pow’r of death,
  Which quells the pow’r of death,
  Which quells the pow’r of death,
And triumph in that blessed Name
  Which quells the pow’r of death.

To hear the name Jesus in my ear is what truly heals my wounds and drives away all my fears. As the trials of life press on and in me, I find this hymn reminding me that the Lord Jesus' name is the power against all wounds and fears. Praise You Lord Jesus, we want to Praise You as we ought!

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds!!

It smoothes my sorrow, heals my wounds and drives away my fear!~

Thanks my LORD Jesus!!

Alternate version:

1. How fragrant, sweet is Jesus' name,

My heavy heart to cheer;

My heart rejoices, lips proclaim

Thy precious name so dear.

Chorus 1:

Most beauteous, wondrous Son of God;

My precious Savior, He

Was born, e'en shed His precious blood

And died to ransom me.

2. He who existed in God's form

As Son of Man did come,

Was emptied, even took slave's form,

That I God's heir become.

3. Jesus is life, enlivening;

Light, truth, and way is He.

He's in my heart, my Lord and King,

To guide and comfort me.

4. Jesus, more dear than treasures rare,

Each moment fills my heart,

Dissolves distress and anxious care,

Draws close to ne'er depart.

5. My Savior soon will come for me,

Take me with Him to be.

I'll be transfigured gloriously

And rest eternally.

Chorus 2:

Jesus! What joy, what glory 'tis:

My glory e'er is He;

The name of glory “Jesus” is& mdash;

I'll praise eternally!
