| Text: | The Name of Jesus |
| Author: | W. C. Martin, 19th Century |
| Tune: | [The name of Jesus is so sweet] |
| Composer: | Edmund S. Lorenz, 1854-1942 |
1 The name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus!
Refrain:
“Jesus,” O how sweet the name,
“Jesus,” every day the same;
“Jesus,” let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever.
2 I love the name of Him whose heart
Knows all my griefs and bears a part;
Who bids all anxious fears depart--
I love the name of Jesus! (Refrain)
3 That name I fondly love to hear,
It never fails my heart to cheer;
Its music dries the falling tear;
Exalt the name of Jesus! (Refrain)
4 No word of man can ever tell
How sweet the name I love so well;
Oh, let its praises ever swell,
Oh, praise the name of Jesus! (Refrain)
