"The Name of Jesus"

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!

I love the name of Him whose heart
Knows all my griefs and bears a part,
Who bids all anxious fears depart -
I love the name of Jesus!

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!

No word of man can ever tell
How sweet the name I love so well.
O let its praises ever swell!
O praise the name of Jesus!

- William C. Martin, 20th Century
