Interlude

VERSE 1

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear

INTERLUDE

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fears

CHORUS

How sweet the name of Jesus

Sounds in a believer’s ear

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fears

Interlude

VERSE 2

It makes the wounded spirit whole

And calms the troubled breast

’tis manna to the hungry soul

And to the weary, rest

CHORUS

How sweet the name of Jesus

Sounds in a believer’s ear

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fears

Interlude

VERSE 3

Jesus, my Savior, my Shepherd, Friend

My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,

Accept the praise I bring

Jesus, my Savior, my Shepherd, my Friend

My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,

Accept the praise I bring

CHORUS

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fears

Oh, how sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer’s ear

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fears

Jesus, the name of Jesus,

So sweet in love,

Believers in Him

No other name like Jesus can soothe your sorrow, heal your wounds,

And wipe away your pain
