The precious name of Jesus.

Its worthy praise forever.

Knows all my griefs and bears a part;
Who bids all anxious fears depart,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

It never fails my heart to cheer,
Its music dries the falling tear;
Exalt the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

Oh, praise the name of Jesus. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Names and Titles; Devotion; Jesus Names and Titles; Love Scripture: Acts 4:12 Languages: English Tune Title: THE NAME OF JESUS
