Verse 1:
Jesus the very thought of you O sweetness fills my chest;
But sweeter far Your face to view, and in Your presence rest.
No voice can sing, no heart can tell, nor can my memory ever find
A sweeter sound than Your blest name, Oh, Savior of mankind.
Chorus:
Oh, how I love Your name! It is the name I love to hear.
The sweetest name on earth. It sounds like music in my ear
…It is the name I love to hear
Verse 2:
Oh hope of every contrite heart, Oh, joy of all the weak,
To those who fall, how kind You are! How good to those who seek!
But what to those who find? Ah! This, no tongue or pen could ever show-
The love of Jesus, what it is, none but His children know.
Chorus:
Oh, how I love Your name! It is the name I love to hear.
The sweetest name on earth. It sounds like music in my ear
…It is the name I love to hear
