Jesus! Dear Name, How Sweet It Sounds!

Jesus! dear name

how sweet it sounds!

Replete with balm for all my wounds!

His Word de­clares His grace is free

Come

needy sin­ner

Come and see.

He left the shin­ing courts on high

Came to our world to bleed and die;

Jesus

the God

hung on a tree:

Come

thought­less sin­ner

come and see.

Your sins did pierce His bleed­ing heart

Till death had done its dread­ful part;

Yet His dear love still burns to thee

Come

trem­bling sin­ner

come and see.

His blood can cleanse the foul­est stain

Can make the fil­thy le­per clean;

This fount­ain op­en stands for thee

Come

guil­ty sin­ner

come and see.

The gar­ments of His shin­ing grace

His glo­ri­ous robe of right­eous­ness;

In this ar­ray thou bright shall be;

Come

nak­ed sin­ner

come and see.

No tongue can tell what glo­ries shine

In our Im­ma­nu­el

all di­vine;

O that in sweet­est me­lo­dy

Each heart may sing

He died for me.
