Frederick W. Faber·Modern
Verse 1
O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord!
Forgive me, if I say,
For very love, thy sacred name
A thousand times a day.
Verse 2
I love thee so, I know not how
My transports to control;
Thy love is like a burning fire
Within my very soul.
Verse 3
Oh, wonderful! that thou should’st let
So vile a heart as mine
Love thee with such a love as this,
And make so free with thine!
Verse 4
O Light in darkness, Joy in grief!
O Heaven begun on earth!
Jesus my Love, my Treasure! who
Can tell what thou art worth?
Verse 5
O Jesus, Jesus, sweetest Lord!
What art thou not to me?
Each hour brings joys before unknown,
Each day new liberty.
Frederick W. Faber, “O Jesus, Jesus, Dearest Lord!”

Verse 1
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
Refrain
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because he first loved me.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And, though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
Verse 4
It tells of One, whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.
