[A]
L1: How | sweet the name of | Je - sus sounds In | a be - liev - er's | ear! It | soothes his sor - rows, | heals his wounds, And | drives a - way his | fear.
L2: It | makes the wound - ed | spir - it whole And | calms the trou - bled | breast, 'Tis | man - na to the | hun - gry soul, And | to the wea - ry | rest.
L3: Dear | name, the rock on | which I build, My | shield and hid - ing | place; My | nev - er - fail - ing | trea - sure, filled With | bound - less stores of | grace!
L4: Je | - sus, my shep - herd, | broth - er, friend, My | pro - phet, priest and | King. My | Lord, my life, my | way, my end, Ac | - cept the praise I | bring.
