THERE IS A NAME OF SWEETNESS

THERE IS A NAME OF SWEETNESS

There is a name of wondrous sweetness,
Resplendent with immortal fame;
I glory in its grand completeness,
It is the Saviour's precious name!

Jesus, jesus, jesus took away my sin;
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus abides within.
Then give me Jesus, Jesus,
Now and evermore the same,
Then give me Jesus, and only Jesus,
O magnify and laud His name!

There is a name of rarer beauty;
Then shall I ever blush with shame;
Nay!'Tis my joy, and not a duty,
To magnify my Saviour's name!

This name all other names transcending,
Remains for evermore the same;
Some day, with angels voices blending,
I'll sing the praises of His name!
