- There is a Name I enjoy hearing, and I enjoy singing about its importance
- It’s like music to my ears, the finest name on the face of the planet
- Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me
- Reprise
- It reminds me of the love of a Savior who died in order to set me free
- It informs me of His precious blood, The sinner’s faultless plea
- It informs me of a Father’s grin Beaming onto His kid
- It comforts me through this little time, Through desert, waste, and wild
- It informs me of the plans my Father has for me on a daily basis. And if I traverse a darksome path, Yields brightness all the way
- It talks of One whose loving heart Can sense my deepest pain
- Who in each grief suffers a share That none may bear below
- It bids my timid heart cheer
- It dries each rising tear
- It urges me, in a “still quiet voice,” To trust and never fear
- Jesus, the Name I love so well, The Name I love to hear: No saint on earth its worth can describe, No heart imagine how precious
- This Name shall shed its fragrance yet Along this rough journey, Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill That leads me up to God
- And there with all the blood-bought throng, From sin and sorrow free, I’ll sing the new eternal song Of Jesus’ love for me
Oh, How I Love Jesus
We don’t give much thought to what a simple name might convey to us. For example, Jesus: “. you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21 ESV); “Jesus” is derived from the Hebrew for “The Lord Saves.” There is also the literal meaning of the word, which is often in another language. There are several examples of this in the Bible, such as: Another definition of a name is the things that are psychologically associated with the name in some way or another.
Text:
Frederick Whitfield, an English priest, wrote the first stanzas of this hymn in 1855, and the rest is history. Whitfield’s Sacred Poems and Prosein London, published in 1861, was the first publication of the work, which was first written in hymn sheets and booklets. It was initially published in the United States in 1864, making it the earliest known edition. Despite the fact that the refrain is anonymous, it was used in conjunction with many other hymns written by John Newton and Isaac Watts in the second half of the nineteenth century, including “Amazing Grace” and “Alas!
Only four of Whitfield’s nine original stanzas are still in frequent usage today; they are the first, second, fourth, and fifth stanzas, respectively.
It is the topic of the stanzas that the numerous pleasant connotations and promises that the name of Jesus holds for a devoted Christian believer are the focus of the poem.
Tune:
The origins of the song O HOW I LOVE JESUS may be traced back to the camp meetings of nineteenth-century America. It’s possible that the melodies for the stanzas and the refrain were composed separately. Despite the fact that they blend nicely together, the stanza music starts with an upbeat and has a constant long-short rhythm, whilst the refrain tune accentuates the primary beats of each measure. All of the songs have a lovely, almost dance-like air to them, and they are all simple to sing.
When/Why/How:
This hymn is appropriate for use as a devotional song at any time of the year and is suitable for all ages. Two Scripture passages that might be used in conjunction with the song are I John 4:19, which is quoted in the refrain, and Hebrews 4:15-16, which is hinted to in the last stanza. In addition, there is the general topic of Jesus’ love, which may be used in a medley with other hymns on the same theme, as in the long choral medley “More Love to Thee,” or the piano medley in “Prayludes for Summer.” Tiffany Shomsky, Hymnary.org Tiffany Shomsky, Hymnary.org FlexScores are available for download in the Mediasection on the right.
