Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

   Sweetest Name on earth,

How can I, a sinner,

   Come to know its worth?

 2 

Oh! the sinful sorrow,

   Oh! the strangest shame,

That I saw no beauty

   In that sacred Name.

 3 

Never felt the sweetness!

   Never knew the grace,

Never saw the love-pain

   In that wounded face!

 4 

Never found the mystery

   In that simple word —

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

   Savior, Lover, Lord.

 5 

Now 'tis past and over.

   Gone my guilt and shame;

Jesus, Jesus did it,

   Glory to His Name!

 6 

Wonderful compassion,

   Reaching even me;

Bows my humbled spirit

   In captivity.

 7 

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

   Loved me in my shame.

Oh! the joy and rapture

   Of that sacred Name.
