Sheet music
- 1There is a name I love to hear,I love to Speak its worth;It sounds like music In mine earThe sweetest name on earth.It tells me of a Savior’s love,Who died to set me free;It tells me of His precious blood,The sinners perfect plea.
- 2Jesus! the name I love so well,The name I love to hear!No Saint on earth its worth can tell,No heart conceive how dear.This name shall shed its fragrance stillAlong this thorny road;Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hillThat leads me up to God.
