Author: Frederick Whitfield Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #304 (1974) Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Refrain First Line: O, how I love Jesus Lyrics: 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 what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Name(s) of; Love Our Love; Testimony, Hymns of; Witness, Hymns of Languages: English Tune Title: O, HOW I LOVE JESUS
