The words

Verse 1. There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.

Refrain Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because he first loved me.

Verse 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.

Verse 3. It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And, though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

Verse 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.

Sing the refrain after every verse.
