Written by Lela Long, 19th century--this and the chorus is all I can find. Can anyone help me with the lyrics, the date of publication, any thing more about Lela Long? Many thanks. meg

Hi Meg,

Here are the words:

1.
There have been names that I have loved to hear,
But never has there been a name so dear
To this heart of mine, as the Name divine,
The precious, precious Name of Jesus.

Chorus
Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He's just the same as His lovely Name,
And that's the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

2.
There is no name in earth or Heav'n above,
That we should give such honor and such love
As the blessed Name, let us all acclaim,
That wondrous, glorious Name of Jesus.

3.
And some day I shall see Him face to face
To thank and praise Him for His wondrous grace,
Which He gave to me, when He made me free,
The blessed Son of God called Jesus.

God bless!
Steve
