The name of Jesus is so sweet,

by w. C. Martin

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 643 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

The name of Jesus is so sweet, I love its music to repeat; It makes my joys full and complete, The precious name of Jesus.

Refrain

"Jesus," oh, how sweet the name! "Jesus," every day the same; "Jesus," let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever.

Verse 2

I love the name of Him Whose heart Knows all my grief's and bears a part; Who bids all anxious fears depart — I love the name of Jesus.

Verse 3

That name I fondly love to hear, It never fails my heart to cheer, Its music dries the falling tear; Exalt the name of Jesus.

Verse 4

No word of man can ever tell How sweet the name I love so well; Oh, let its praises ever swell; Oh, praise the name of Jesus.
