"Unto You who Believe He is Precious. " |
436. C. M. Newton. "Unto you who believe he is precious." 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, It calms the troubled breast; 'T is manna to the hungry soul, And, to the weary, rest. 3 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought, But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 4 Till then I would thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.
