The Name of Jesus. Song 1. 3; Mal. 1. 11; Col. 1. 19

1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
  In a believer’s ear!
  It soothes his sorrows, 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.

3 Dear name! the rock on which I build;
  My shield and hiding-place;
  My never-failing treasury, filled
  With boundless stores of grace.
