Christ in Song 215
The Name of Jesus
1The name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus.
Refrain“Jesus,” oh, how sweet the name!
“Jesus,” ev'ry day the same;
“Jesus,” let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever.
2I love the name of Him whose heart Knows all my griefs and bears a part;
Who bids all anxious fears depart— I love the name of Jesus.
3That name I fondly love to hear,
It never fails my heart to cheer,
Its music dries the falling tears;
Exalt the name of Jesus.
4No word of man can ever tell How sweet the name I love so well;
Oh, let its praises ever swell,
Oh, praise the name of Jesus.
