A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881 ‎#77

77. Jesus! O name divinely sweet

1 Jesus! O name divinely sweet!
How soothing is the sound!
What joyful news, what heavenly pow'r,
In that blest name is found!

2 Our souls, as guilty and condemned,
In hopeless fetters lay;
Our souls with countless sins defiled,
Of death and hell the prey.

3 Jesus, to purge away our guilt,
A willing victim fell,
And on His cross triumphant broke
The bands of death and hell.
