198. There Is a Name We Love to Hear

C.M.
by F. Whitfield
1
There is a Name we love to hear,
 
We love to sing its worth;
 
It sounds like music in our ear,
 
The sweetest Name on earth.
2
It tells us of a Savior’s love,
 
Who died to set us free;
 
It tells us of His precious blood,
 
The sinner’s perfect plea.
3
Jesus! the Name we love so well,
 
The Name we love to hear!
 
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
 
No heart conceive how dear.
4
This Name shall shed its fragrance still
 
Along this thorny road,
 
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
 
That leads us up to God.
5
And there the whole triumphant throng,
 
Of blood-bought saints on high,
 
Shall sing the new, eternal song
 
With Jesus ever nigh.
