I own the name of Jesus,
Let others it despise;
The blessed name of Jesus
Above all else I prize.
I bear the name of Jesus-
Profess Him as my Lord;
Acknowledge Him my Savior-
Alone beloved, adored.
I love the name of Jesus,
Whate'er the cross I bear;
I find my joy and solace,
And all I wish for, there.
I prize the name of Jesus,
The treasure of my soul;
The sum of all my riches,
My joy unspeakable.
Yes blessed, precious Jesus,
My heart e'er turns to thee;
Come whatsoe'er thou wiliest,
Thy name my all shall be!
And, O! the name of Jesus,
Shall be my deathless song,
When in the realms of glory
I join the ransomed throng.
