African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#185

185. There Is a Name I Love to Hear

1 There is a name I love to hear;
I love to sing its worth:
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

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.

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.

4 Jesus! the name I love so well,
The name I love to hear;
No saints on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.
