I love to sing it’s worth
It sounds like music in my ear
The sweetest name on earth
Oh how I love Jesus

Oh how I love Jesus
Because he first loved me
Can feel my deepest woe
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below
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
Oh how I love Jesus
Oh how I love Jesus
Oh how I love Jesus
Because he first loved me
It tells me of the one whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below
