Jesus! O name divinely sweet!
How soothing is the sound!
What joyful news, what heav’nly pow’r,
In that blest name is found!

Our souls, as guilty and condemned,
In hopeless fetters lay,
Our souls, with countless sins defiled,
Of death and hell the prey.

Jesus, to purge away our guilt,
A willing victim fell,
And on His cross triumphant broke
The bands of death and hell.
