The Name of Jesus (Martin)

The name of Je­sus is so sweet

I love its mu­sic to re­peat;

It makes my joys full and com­plete

The pre­cious name of Je­sus!

Jesus

O how sweet the name!

Jesus

ev­ery day the same;

Jesus

let all saints pro­claim

Its wor­thy praise for­ev­er!

I love the name of Him whose heart

Knows all my griefs and bears a part;

Who bids all anx­ious fears de­part

I love the name of Je­sus!

That name I fond­ly love to hear

It nev­er fails my heart to cheer;

Its mu­sic dries the fall­ing tear

Exalt the name of Je­sus!

No word of man can ev­er tell

How sweet the name I love so well;

O let its prais­es ev­er swell

O praise the name of Je­sus!
