Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
Sweetest Name on earth,
How can I, a sinner,
Come to know its worth?
Sweetest Name on earth,
How can I, a sinner,
Come to know its worth?
Oh! the sinful sorrow,
Oh! the strangest shame,
That I saw no beauty
In that sacred Name.
Oh! the strangest shame,
That I saw no beauty
In that sacred Name.

Never felt the sweetness!
Never knew the grace,
Never saw the love-pain
In that wounded face!
Never knew the grace,
Never saw the love-pain
In that wounded face!
Never found the mystery
In that simple word—
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Savior, Lover, Lord.
In that simple word—
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Savior, Lover, Lord.

Now ’tis past and over.
Gone my guilt and shame;
Jesus, Jesus did it,
Glory to His Name!
Gone my guilt and shame;
Jesus, Jesus did it,
Glory to His Name!
Wonderful compassion,
Reaching even me;
Bows my humbled spirit
In captivity.
Reaching even me;
Bows my humbled spirit
In captivity.

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Loved me in my shame.
Oh! the joy and rapture
Of that sacred Name.
Loved me in my shame.
Oh! the joy and rapture
Of that sacred Name.
