1
How fragrant, sweet is Jesus’ name,
My heavy heart to cheer;
My heart rejoices, lips proclaim
Thy precious name so dear.
 
Most beauteous, wondrous Son of God;
My precious Savior, He
Was born, e’en shed His precious blood
And died to ransom me.
2
He who existed in God’s form
As Son of Man did come,
Was emptied, even took slave’s form,
That I God’s heir become.
3
Jesus is life, enlivening;
Light, truth, and way is He.
He’s in my heart, my Lord and King,
To guide and comfort me.
4
Jesus, more dear than treasures rare,
Each moment fills my heart,
Dissolves distress and anxious care,
Draws close to ne’er depart.
5
My Savior soon will come for me,
Take me with Him to be.
I’ll be transfigured gloriously
And rest eternally.
 
Jesus! What joy, what glory ’tis:
My glory e’er is He;
The name of glory “Jesus” is—
I’ll praise eternally!
