Dear Name! The Rock on Which I Stand

Lyrics

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

Chorus:

O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

(Chorus)

Dear name! The rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place;
My never failing treas’ry filled
With boundless stores of grace.

(Chorus)

I would the boundless love proclaim
With ev’ry fleeting breath;
So shall the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

(Chorus)
