O How I Love Jesus

There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
it sounds like music in my ear,
the sweetest name on earth.

Refrain:

O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
because he first loved me!

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. (Refrain)

It tells of one whose loving heart
can feel my deepest woe;
who in each sorrow bears a part
that none can bear below. (Refrain)
