There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music to my ear, The sweetest name on earth. Chorus: Oh, how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me. It tells me of my Saviour's love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner's perfect plea. (Chorus) It tells me what my Father hath In store for ev'ry day, And though I tread a darksome path, Yields sunshine all the way. (Chorus) It tells me one whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe; Who in each sorrow bears a part, That none can bear below. (Chorus)
