[Verse 1]
C# F# C# G#
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
F# G#
In the believer’s ear

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds

And drives away our fear
[Verse 2]
C# F# C# G#
So weak the effort of my heart
F# G#
And cold my warmest thought
F# C# D#m A#m
But when I see you as you are
F# G# C#
I’ll praise you as I ought
[Chorus]
C#/F# G# C#
The rock on which I build,
F# G# C#
My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,
F# G# C#
The endless source of grace,
F# G# C#
My shepherd and my king, be ever praised
[Instrumental]
C# F# C# G#
[Verse 3]
C# F# C# G#
Till then I would, your love, proclaim
F# G#
With every fleeting breath,
F# C# D#m A#m
And may the music of your name
F# G# C#
Refresh my soul in death
[Bridge]

My prophet, my priest, my brother and friend

My Lord, my life, my way and my end.
