American melody

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.

Refrain: O 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. [Refrain]

3 It tells me what my Father hath In store for ev’ry day, And though I tread a darksome path, Yields sunshine all the way. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
