Jesus ! O name divinely sweet !
  How soothing is the sound !
     What joyful news, what heavenly power
  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.

C.M.              Stennett, 1790
