Verse 1
There is a name I love to hear
I love to sing its worth.
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
Verse 2
It tells me of a Saviour’s love,
Who died to set me free,
It tells me of His precious blood
The sinner’s perfect plea.
Verse 3
It bids my trembling soul rejoice,
And dries each rising tear;
It tells me in a “still small voice”
To trust and never fear.
Verse 4
Jesus, the name I love so well.
The name I loveto hear,
No saint on earth its worth can tell.
No heart conceive how dear
Verse 5
This name shall shed its fragrance
A long this thorny road
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill[still
That leads me up to God.
Verse 6
And there, with all the blood-
bought throng
From sin and sorrow free.
I’ll sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus’ love to me
