68. The name of Jesus is so sweet

1 The name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus!

Refrain:
Jesus! O how sweet the name!
Jesus! every day the same.
Jesus! let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise for ever.

2 I love the name of him whose heart
Knows all my griefs and bears my part,
Who bids all anxious fears depart;
I love the name of Jesus.

3 That name I fondly love to hear,
It never fails my heart to cheer,
Its music dries the falling tear;
Exalt the name of Jesus!

4 No word of man can ever tell
How sweet the name I love so well;
O let its praises ever swell!
O praise the name of Jesus!
