There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.
Refrain
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
Refrain
It tells me of a Father’s smile
Beaming upon His child;
It cheers me through this little while,
Through desert, waste, and wild.
Refrain
It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
Refrain |
It tells of One whose
loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears
A part that none can bear below.
Refrain
It bids my trembling
heart rejoice.
It dries each rising tear.
It tells me, in a “still small voice,”
To trust and never fear.
Refrain
Jesus, the Name I love
so well,
The Name I love to hear:
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.
Refrain
This Name shall shed
its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.
Refrain
And there with all the
blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
I’ll sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus’ love for me.
