O, How I Love Jesus
G
There is a name I love to hear;
D G
I love to sing its worth.
It sounds like music to my ear;
C D7 G
The sweetest name on earth.
G
O, how I love Jesus,
D7 G
O, how I love Jesus,
O, how I love Jesus,
C D7 G
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Saviour’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
