1 Who can sing the wondrous love of the Son divine?
O my Lord, there’s none so dear to me
As the One who bore the burden of all my sin,
And so freely died to set me free.

Refrain:
Oh, the precious music of Jesus’ name!
Glory to the Lamb!
Oh, sweetest name in song! the heavens shall prolong
The music of Thy name.

2 Tune your harps, ye ransomed throng, and extol the Christ,
Sing the Name that opened mercy’s door;
Oh, ’tis music, sweetest music to sinners lost,
Sweetest to the saints forevermore. [Refrain]

3 Oh, let saints and angels join in triumphant song,
Let the music of all worlds accord;
And in holy anthems high over all, proclaim,
“Glory be to Jesus Christ the Lord!” [Refrain]
