Old Paths in Portrait

The Name Of Jesus Is So Sweet
 
“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!

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!

Refrain:

Jesus, O how sweet the name!
"Jesus" every day the same;
"Jesus," let ll saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever!"

-William C. Martin  American Hymnist  1864–1914
