Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
  Sweetest Name on earth,
How can I, a sinner,
  Come to know its worth?

Oh! the sinful sorrow,
  Oh! the strangest shame,
That I saw no beauty
  In that sacred Name.

Never felt the sweetness!
  Never knew the grace,
Never saw the love-pain
  In that wounded face!

Never found the mystery
  In that simple word—
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
  Savior, Lover, Lord.

Now ’tis past and over.
  Gone my guilt and shame;
Jesus, Jesus did it,
  Glory to His Name!

Wonderful compassion,
  Reaching even me;
Bows my humbled spirit
  In captivity.

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
  Loved me in my shame.
Oh! the joy and rapture
  Of that sacred Name.
