Lyrics 1 I love the name of Jesus, That name the angels sing; And with their loud hosannas, The heavenly portals ring. To him my all confiding, In Him my joy complete, I learn with Christian meekness My duty at his feet. I learn with Christian meekness My duty at his feet. Chorus: I love, I love, I love the name of Jesus, The sweetest name, the name, The name the angels sing. 2 I love to think of Jesus, When all is clam and still; When pure and holy feelings, My grateful bosom fill, I love to think of Jesus, Whose mercy crowns my days, How just are all his counsels, And true are all his ways. 3 I love to work for Jesus, And worship at his throne, O may his spirit help me To live for him alone. To labor for my Saviour, My greatest joy shall be; I know that Jesus loves me Because he died for me.
