G  D  C  D
     G        Am       G     D
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds

To all who believe in Him
    C                     G           D
It soothes their sorrow, heals their wounds
     C       G       D
And drives away all fear
     C               D        G
It makes the wounded spirit whole
     C        Am       D/F#
And calms the troubled mind

It’s Heaven’s food to feed the soul

Worthy to be worshipped always
      G         Am      G       D
Your Name, the Rock on which I build
    C          G      D
My shield and hiding place
    C             G          D
My all-providing storehouse filled
      C     G      D
With never-ending grace
     C              D      G
How weak the effort of my strength
     C      Am      D/F#
And cold my warmest thought
    G              C        Am
But when I see You face to face
      C          D                G   D C D  (G D C D)
I’ll praise You Lord, just as I ought
     C         D             G  D/F#
How sweet the Name of Jesus Christ
      C         D             G  D/F#
I’ll praise the Name of Jesus Christ

All Life-giving, always healing
Am                     C   D  G   D C D  (G D C D)
Worthy to be worshipped always
     G       Am      G          D
The Father hears my prayers on high
    C       G            D
Despite the things I’ve done
    C          G      D
Let every accusation fail
    C    G        D
For I am Your’s alone
   C                   D         G
My Shepherd, Guide and Faithful Friend
   C         Am        D/F#
My Prophet, Priest and King
    G                 C      Am
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End
   C       D                G    D C D  (G D C D)
Accepting now the praise I bring
