There is a Name I love to hear

8.6.8.6. 1 There is a Name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds as 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! 2 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. 3 It bids my trembling soul rejoice, And dries each rising tear; It tells me in a “still, small voice” To trust and never fear. 4 Jesus, the name I love so well, The Name I love to hear, No saint one earth its worth can tell, No heart conceive how dear. 5 This Name shall shed its fragrance still, Along this thorny road, Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill, That leads me up to God. 6 And there, with all the blood-bought throng, From sin and sorrow free, I’ll sing the new eternal song, Of Jesus’ love to me.
