1 O, the dearest name of all is Jesus,
Sweetest word that mortal tongues can frame,
Blessed Jesus, precious Jesus,
There is music in the Saviour’s name.
Refrain:
‘Tis the dearest name,
‘Tis the sweetest name,
It has pow’r to break the bonds of in.
Blessed Jesus,
Precious Jesus,
Thro’ His name eternal life I’ll wing.
2 O, the dearest name of all is Jesus,
Sweeter far than all the names of earth,
Blessed Jesus, precious Jesus,
‘Twas an Angel’s voice proclaim’d His birth. [Refrain]
3 O, the dearest name of all is Jesus,
Sweetest name that fills the realms above,
Blessed Jesus, precious Jesus,
I will sin of the wonders of His love. [Refrain]
