Festival Choir & Orchestra and Hosanna Chorus - How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

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 takes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the troubled breast
'Tis manner to the hungry soul
And to the weary rest

Weak is the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought
But when I see Thee as Thou art
I praise Thee as I ought

'Til then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death
