[Verse 1]
G C G D
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
C D
In the believer’s ear
C G Am Em
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds
C D G
And drives away our fear
[Verse 2]
G C G D
So weak the effort of my heart
C D
And cold my warmest thought
C G Am Em
But when I see you as you are
C D G
I’ll praise you as I ought
[Chorus]
C D G
The rock on which I build,
C D G
My shield and hiding place with treasure filled,
C D G
The endless source of grace,
C D G
My shepherd and my king, be ever praised
[Instrumental]
G C G D
[Verse 3]
G C G D
Till then I would, your love, proclaim
C D
With every fleeting breath,
C G Am Em
And may the music of your name
C D G
Refresh my soul in death
[Outro]
