[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

[Chorus]
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 Saviour's love
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood
The sinner's perfect plea

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below

[Chorus][x2]
