1. The name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus.
Chorus:
“Jesus,” oh, how sweet the name!
“Jesus,” ev’ry day the same;
“Jesus,” let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever.
2. I love the name of Him whose heart
Knows all my griefs, and bears apart;
Who bids all anxious fears depart—
I love the name of Jesus.
3. That name I fondly love to hear;
It never fails my heart to cheer;
Its music dries the fallen tear;
Exalt the name of Jesus.
4. No 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.
