99. O, How I Love Jesus

1 There is a name I love to hear,
I love to speak 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!

2 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)

3 It tells of one whose loving heart
can feel my deepest woe,
who in my sorrow bears a part
that none can bear below. (Refrain)
