There is a Name I love to hear

Verse 1

There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to speak its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

It tells me of a Father's smile
Beaming upon His child;
It cheers me through this "little while,"
Through desert, waste, and wild.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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.

Verse 6

This Name shall shed its fragrance still
Along life's thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.

Verse 7

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