ENGLISH LYRICS: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

The Lord's name is to be praised. Ps. 113:3

1.  How sweet the name of Jesus sounds,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;
    It soothes my sorrows heals my wounds,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;

    Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;
    Blessed be the name, blessed be the name,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord.

2. It makes the wounded spirit whole,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;
    'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord.

3. It soothes the troubled sinner's breast,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;
    It gives the weary sweetest rest,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;

4. Then will I tell the sinners round,
    Blessed be the name of the Lord;
    What a dear Saviour I have found;
    Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Amen.
