How fragrant, sweet is Jesus’ name

How fragrant

sweet is Jesus’ name

My heavy heart to cheer;

My heart rejoices

lips proclaim

Thy precious name so dear.

Most beauteous

wondrous Son of God;

My precious Savior

He

Was born

e’en shed His precious blood

And died to ransom me.

He who existed in God’s form

As Son of Man did come

Was emptied

even took slave’s form

That I God’s heir become.

Jesus is life

enlivening;

Light

truth

and way is He.

He’s in my heart

my Lord and King

To guide and comfort me.

Jesus

more dear than treasures rare

Each moment fills my heart

Dissolves distress and anxious care

Draws close to ne’er depart.

My Savior soon will come for me

Take me with Him to be.

I’ll be transfigured gloriously

And rest eternally.

Jesus! What joy

what glory ’tis:

My glory e’er is He;

The name of glory “Jesus” is—

I’ll praise eternally!
