The Name of Jesus
I love the Name of Jesus –
There’s nothing else so dear;
It brings such joy and gladness
His precious Name to hear.
The saving Name of Jesus
Is wonderful to me –
It speaks of peace and pardon
And says that I am free.
The lovely Name of Jesus
Is beautiful and sweet –
My source of life and comfort,
It makes my joy complete.
The worthy Name of Jesus
Will someday be confessed
By every tongue and nation –
Forever praised and blessed.
The holy Name of Jesus
Is heaven’s glorious song,
The theme through endless ages
Of all the blood washed throng.
I love the Name of Jesus –
Oh, may my life proclaim
The glory, strength, and honor
That’s due His precious Name.
