Hymn number 564

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.

2

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.

3

It tells of One Whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in my sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.

4

It bids my trembling heart rejoice,
It dries each rising tear;
It tells me in a ‘still, small voice’
To trust and never fear.

5

This name shall lift my spirit still
Along my pilgrim road,
And bless me as I climb the hill
That leads me up to God.

6

And there with all the blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
I’ll sing the great eternal song
Of all His love to me.

7

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!
