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.
