#1227

 

 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.

 

Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name,

Jesus! Every day the same;

Jesus! Let all saints proclaim

   Its worthy praise forever.

 

 2  I love the name of Him whose heart

    Knows all my griefs and bears a part;

    Who bids all anxious fears depart,

       I love the name of Jesus.

 

Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name,

Jesus! Every day the same;

Jesus! Let all saints proclaim

   Its worthy praise forever.

 

 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.

 

Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name,

Jesus! Every day the same;

Jesus! Let all saints proclaim

   Its worthy praise forever.

 

 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.

 

Jesus! Oh, how sweet the name,

Jesus! Every day the same;

Jesus! Let all saints proclaim

   Its worthy praise forever.
