1. There is a name I love to hear,
  I love to sing its worth;
  It sounds like music in mine ear,
  The sweetest name on earth.
  
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Because He first loved me!
  
2. It tells me of a Savior's love,
  Who died to set me free;
  It tells me of His precious blood,
  The sinner's perfect plea.
  
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Because He first loved me!
  
3. It tells me what my Father hath,
  In store for every day,
  And though I tread a darksome path,
  Yields sunshine all the way.
  
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Because He first loved me!
  
4. It tells of One whose loving heart
  Can feel my deepest woe,
  Who in each sorrow bears a part
  That none can bear below.
  
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
  Because He first loved me!
