Verse 1
There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, The sweetest name on earth.
Refrain
O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus— Because He first loved me!
Verse 2
It tells me of a Savior’s love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner’s perfect plea.
Verse 3
It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below.
