How sweet the name of Je¤sus,
That name a¤bove all names;
With His own blood He bought me,
And my whole be¤ing claims.
I love the name of Je¤sus,
My Sav¤iour and my King:
And while I have my be¤ing
His prais¤es will I sing.

There is no name in Heav¤en
Or earth I love so well:
He has pre¤pared in glo¤ry
A place where I may dwell.
I shall show forth His prais¤es,
The rich¤es of His grace;
And wor¤ship my re¤deem¤er
With¤in the ho¤ly place.

To bear the name of Je¤sus
Shall be my joy and crown
The cross is now my por¤tion;
Soon I shall lay it down.
Set free from trib¤u¤la¤tion,
All sor¤row, grief and pain;
With¤in His courts to serve Him,
How great will be my gain.

His grace is all suf¤fic¤ient
To speed me in the race,
And keep me still en¤dur¤ing
Un¤til I see His face.
How great my con¤so¤la¤tion,
My an¤chor shall not fail
Till I am safe for ev¤er
At home, with¤in the veil.

I shall be¤hold my Sav¤iour
His hands, His feet, His side:
I shall fall down and wor¤ship
The Lamb of God who died.
En¤grav¤en on my fore¤head
To bear His name di¤vine,
This high¤est height of hon¤our
For ev¤er shall be mine.
