Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus!

Sweetest Name on earth

How can I

a sinner

Come to know its worth?

Oh! the sinful sorrow

Oh! the strangest shame

That I saw no beauty

In that sacred Name.

Never felt the sweetness!

Never knew the grace

Never saw the love-pain

In that wounded face!

Never found the mystery

In that simple word—

Jesus

Jesus

Jesus

Savior

Lover

Lord.

Now ’tis past and over.

Gone my guilt and shame;

Jesus

Jesus did it

Glory to His Name!

Wonderful compassion

Reaching even me;

Bows my humbled spirit

In captivity.

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Loved me in my shame.

Oh! the joy and rapture

Of that sacred Name.
