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.
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
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.
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
3. It tells me what my Father hath
In store for ev’ry day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
4. It tells of one whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus!
O, how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!
