1. Precious name so dear, so tender,
Name I whisper o’er and o’er;
Precious “Jesus,” how I love it,—
Love it daily, more and more.
Chorus:
Precious name (precious name), precious name (precious name),
Sweetest name in earth or sky;
Precious name (precious name), precious name (precious name),
I will love it till I die.
2. Precious name that brought salvation
To my weak and wounded soul,
Mighty anchor, sure and steadfast
When the waves upon me roll.
3. O I love the name of “Jesus,”
Sweeter music ne’er was known;
Peace and joy and life eternal
Spring from that sweet name alone.
4. Precious name, I build upon it
Hopes beyond the years of night;
It shall open heaven’s portals
To the regions of delight.
