There is a Name I love to hear
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.
# 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 Saviors love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinners perfect plea.
# 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 Fathers smile
Beaming upon His child;
It cheers me through this little while,
Through desert, waste, and wild.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears
A part that none can bear below.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
It bids my trembling heart rejoice.
It dries each rising tear.
It tells me, in a still small voice,
To trust and never fear.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
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.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
This Name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
And there with all the blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
Ill sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus love for me.
# O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me! #
