It sounds like music to my ear; C D7 G The sweetest name on earth. G O, how I love Jesus, D7 G O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, C D7 G Because He first loved me! It tells me of a Saviour’s love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner’s perfect plea. It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, How I Love Jesus G D G D There is a name I love to hear,I love to sing its worth; G Em Am D7 G It sounds like music in my ear,The sweetest name on earth.
