Here you will find the Poem How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds of poet John Newton
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear? It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his 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 I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treas'ry filled With boundless stores of grace. By thee my prayers acceptance gain Although with sin defiled, Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.
