      G
There is a name I love to hear,
   D                G     D
I love to sing its worth;
    G                Em
It sounds like music in my ear,
      Am      D7      G
The sweetest name on earth.

chorus:
  G
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  D              G  D
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  G    B7        Em
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
      Am      D7         G
  Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Saviour's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
(chorus)

It tells me what my Father hath,
In store for every day,
And tho'I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
(chorus)

It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.
(chorus)
