Tune
JESUS' NAME · 8.8.8.8
Scripture
Philippians 2:9-10
Verse 1
The name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus.
Refrain
"Jesus," oh, how sweet the name!
"Jesus," every day the same;
"Jesus," let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever.
Verse 2
I love the name of Him Whose heart
Knows all my grief's and bears a part;
Who bids all anxious fears depart —
I love the name of Jesus.
Verse 3
That name I fondly love to hear,
It never fails my heart to cheer,
Its music dries the falling tear;
Exalt the name of Jesus.
Verse 4
No word of man can ever tell
How sweet the name I love so well;
Oh, let its praises ever swell;
Oh, praise the name of Jesus.

A devotional hymn celebrating the sweetness and power of the name of Jesus.
