70. Jesus Is His Name

1 There is a Friend whose love is free
Alike to rich and poor,
He watches over you and me,
His love is strong and sure;
No matter what may be our lot,
His mercy we may claim,
This faithful Friend will fail us not,
And Jesus is His name.

Refrain:
Oh, Jesus is His precious name,
This Friend whom ev’ry one may claim,
And we His love divine may plead,
For Jesus is a Friend indeed!

2 His grace is like the morning dew,
That sweetens earth and sky,
Refreshing ev’ry heart anew,
Abundant in supply;
His riches all the world may share,
He gives to each the same,
This blessed Friend is ev’rywhere,
And Jesus is His name. [Refrain]

3 Dear name of Jesus! sweetest sound
To ev’ry trusting soul,
Oh, may His love and grace abound,
And spread from pole to pole;
This Friend so faithful, precious Friend,
Whose glory we proclaim,
Will guard and guide us to the end,
And Jesus is His name. [Refrain]
