Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#153

153. O How I Love Jesus

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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

3 It tells of one whose loving heart
can feel my deepest woe;
who in each sorrow bears a part
that none can bear below. [Refrain]

4 It bids my trembling heart rejoice;
it dries each rising tear;
it tells me in a still, small voice
to trust and never fear. [Refrain]

5 Jesus, the name I love so well,
the name I love to hear!
No saint of earth its worth can tell,
no heart conceive how dear! [Refrain]
