Tune:O HOW I LOVE JESUS

37. O How I Love Jesus

1 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.

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 each sorrow bears a part,
that none can bear below. [Refrain]
