How Sweet The Name
Written by: Simon Brading, Anna Brading
Lyrics
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds
And drives away our fear
It makes the wounded spirit whole
And heals our brokenness;
It's manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary, rest
Just one name I adore
Just one name awakes my soul
Just one name above them all
Jesus
Jesus! my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend
O Prophet, Priest and King
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End
Accept the praise I bring
Dear Name, the Rock I build upon
My Shield and Hiding Place
My never failing treasury
With boundless stores of grace!
So weak the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see You as You are
I’ll sing forevermore
Till then, I will, Your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of Your Name
Refresh my soul in death!
