There is a name I love to hear
I love to sing its worth
It sounds like music in my ear
The sweetest name on earth

O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
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

O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me

To me, He is so wonderful and I love Him
To me, He is so wonderful and I love Him
To me, He is so wonderful and I love Him
Because He first loved me!

O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
Because He first loved me
