The New Christian Hymnal ‎#387

387. 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.

Chorus:
"Jesus" is the Name,
"Jesus," "Jesus,"
Yesterday, today, and forever,
"Jesus" is the Name.

2. It tells me of a Savior's love,
Who died to set men free;
It tells me of His precious blood —
The sinner's perfect plea. [Chorus]

3. It tells me what my Father hath
In store for ev'ry day;
And though I tread a lonely path,
Yields sunshine all the way. [Chorus]

4. It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below. [Chorus]
