There is a name I love to hear;
I love to sing its worth.
It sounds like music to my ear;
The sweetest name on earth.
O, how I love Jesus,
O, how I love Jesus,
O, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Saviour's love,
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.
Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,Because He first loved me!
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.
Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,Because He first loved me!
It tells me what my Father hath, In store for every day,
And tho'I tread a darksome path,Yields sunshine all the way.
Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,Because He first loved me!
It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,That none can bear below.
Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,Because He first loved me!
