Living Hymns ‎#112

112. Sing the Dear Name Softly

1 Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Lifts the heavy burden from the soul;
Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Speaks the word that makes the wounded whole.

Chorus:
Sing the dear name softly, sweetly, tenderly;
While souls are kindling with the flame;
Sing the dear name softly, sweetly, tenderly,
Dear name of Jesus, precious name.

2 Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Gives the peace that naught can take away;
Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Turns the night of sorrow into day. [Chorus]

3 Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Died himself that I might "never die;"
Only Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Lives again, that I may live on high. [Chorus]
