there is a name i love to hear

There is a name I love to hear,

I love to speak its worth;

It sounds like music in my ear,

The sweetest name on earth.




O, how I love the Saviour's name,

O, how I love the Saviour's name,

O, how I love the Saviour's name,

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.




It tells of One whose loving heart

Can feel my deepest woe;

Who in my sorrow bears a part

That none can bear below.




It bids my trembling heart rejoice,

It dries each rising tear;

It tells me in a still, small voice

To trust and never fear.




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!
