This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

       Sweetest Name on earth,

    How can I, a sinner,

       Come to know its worth?

 

 2  Oh! the sinful sorrow,

       Oh! the strangest shame,

    That I saw no beauty

       In that sacred Name.

 

 3  Never felt the sweetness!

       Never knew the grace,

    Never saw the love-pain

       In that wounded face!

 

 4  Never found the mystery

       In that simple word —

    Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

       Savior, Lover, Lord.

 

 5  Now 'tis past and over.

       Gone my guilt and shame;

    Jesus, Jesus did it,

       Glory to His Name!

 

 6  Wonderful compassion,

       Reaching even me;

    Bows my humbled spirit

       In captivity.

 

 7  Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

       Loved me in my shame.

    Oh! the joy and rapture

       Of that sacred Name.
