Jesus, sweetest name on earth,
Given the Saviour ere His birth:
"Thou shalt call Him Jesus."
He shall bid His people live,
He who came His life to give-
"Thou shalt call Him Jesus."

Jesus the obedient one-
Humble, yet God's holy Son,
Still the Man Christ Jesus.
Name above all others given,
Head o'er all in earth, in heaven,
Yes, the lowly Jesus.

Jesus, Shepherd of Thy sheep;
How man's sin hath made
Thee weep, Man of sorrows, Jesus.
In Thy lonely life on earth,
Oft times shocked by godless mirth,
Patient, pitying Jesus.

Men, in mad apostasy,
Nailed Thee to th' accursed tree-
Knew Thee not as Jesus,
Cast Thee out, for they were blind,
Saviour, of poor, lost mankind,
The rejected Jesus.

Jesus, risen from the tomb,
Hath both sin and death overcome:
Power belongs to Jesus.
God hath raised Him from the dead,
Bids us now no longer dread
Death-we're risen with Jesus !

Now set free from Satan's rule,
We're enrolled in God's great school,
Ere to learn of Jesus-
Depths of His great love and grace,
"Till we see Him face to face,"
E'er to be with Jesus.

Waiting for Thy coming Lord;
Learning from Thy blessed Word,
Day by day of Jesus.
Jesus first, and Jesus last,
On Thyself forever cast,
Thou art our all, Lord Jesus.
