Lyics

THERE is a name I love to hear,

I love to speak its worth;

It sounds like music in mine ear-

The sweetest name on earth.



It tells me of a Saviour's love,

Who died to set me free;

It tells me of his precious blood,

The sinner's perfect plea.



Jesus! the name I love so well,

The name I love to hear!

No saint on earth its worth can tell,

No heart conceive how dear.



This name shall shed its fragrance still

Along this thorny road;

Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill

That leads me up to God.
