Lyrics

lyrics: Frederick Whitfield, 1855.
music: 19th Century American melody

O How I Love Jesus

Intro	(like the first and last lines of a verse)

Verse 1	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.

Verse 2	It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

Refrain	O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

Verse 3	It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

Verse 4	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
Refrain	(END)

Optional:
Verse 6	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 7	This Name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.

Verse 8	And there with all the blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
I’ll sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus’ love for me.
