Just the Whispered Name of Jesus

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus

Thrills my soul with deep­est love;

Turns my thoughts from earth­ly plea­sures

To the ho­ly joys above.

Just the whis­pered name

Brings the peace of Heav­en near;

Blessèd

bless­èd name to hear!

The name of Je­sus.

Precious name

O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n;

Precious name

O how sweet!

Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n.

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus

Drives away de­sire to sin;

Gives me cour­age to bear brave­ly

All life’s bit­ter dis­ci­pline.

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus

Fills my heart with joy un­told

That some day His gra­cious pre­sence

I shall cer­tain­ly be­hold.

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus

Makes me long to tell to all

How He saves

from sin and sor­row

Those who list­en to His call.
