Emu Music How Sweet the Name song lyrics

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In the believer's ear

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds

And drives away our fear

So weak the effort of my heart

And cold my warmest thought

But when I see you as you are

I'll praise you as I ought

The rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,

The endless source of grace,

My shepherd and my king, be ever praised

Till then I would, your love, proclaim

With every fleeting breath,

And may the music of your name

Refresh my soul in death

The rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,

The endless source of grace,

My shepherd and my king, be ever praised

The rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,

The endless source of grace,

My shepherd and my king, be ever praised

The rock on which I build,

The endless source of grace.
