Precious is the name of Jesus;
Sweetest name on earth;
Who in heaven or earth can utter
All its worth?
God so named Him, when a Saviour
He from glory came;
Fragrant now, and fragrant ever
Is that name.
Jesus! name divine and holy,
To His own, how dear!
For when uttered, it will banish
Every fear.
Blessed name! the name of Jesus!
He for sins has died;
Once to save poor sinners,
He was Crucified.
Now in heaven, He still is Jesus,
To whom all must bow;
O! how glad the heart that to Him
Boweth now.
Praise that precious name of Jesus,
Praise Him evermore!
Heaven and earth shall own Him worthy,
And adore!
