Verse 1
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest, name on earth:
How can I, a sinner,
Come to know its worths?
Verse 2
Oh! the sinful sorrow,
Oh! the strangest shame,
That I saw no beauty
In that sacred Name.
Verse 3
Never felt the sweetness,
Never Knew the grace,
Never saw the love-pain
In that wounded face!
Verse 4
Never found the mystery
in that simple word
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Saviour, Lover-Lord.
Verse 5
Now its past and over,
Gone my sin and shame,
Jesus, Jesus did it,
Glory to His Name!
Verse 6
I have seen the glory
Of His tender face,
I have felt with wonder
Thrills of holy grace.
Verse 7
Wonderful compassion
Reaching even me,
Bows my humbled spirit
In captivity.
Verse 8
Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Loved me in my shame,
Oh! the joy and rapture
Of that sacred Name.
