|
| 1 | Jesus! O name divinely sweet! | Matthew 1:21; Philippians 2:9; John 14:13; Acts 3:16; Acts 4:12 |
| How soothing is the sound! |
| What joyful news, what heavenly power |
| In that blest name is found. |
|
| 2 | Our souls, as guilty and condemned, | John 3:18 |
| In hopeless fetters lay; |
| Our souls with countless sins defiled |
| Of death and hell the prey. |
|
| 3 | Jesus, to purge away our guilt, | Hebrews 1:3; John 10:18; Hebrews 2:9-14; 1 Corinthians 15:20-21 |
| A willing victim fell, |
| And on His cross triumphant broke |
| The bands of death and hell. |
