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.
