Sweetest name in the realms above, Sweetest name on earth is Jesus; Breathed in faith with a heart of love, Sweetest name on earth is Jesus.

Balm in tears and sadness, Hope in joy and gladness, How it calms the troubled soul, When the stormy waters roll; Sweetest name on earth is Jesus.

Hailed and crowned with the purest praise, Sweetest name on earth is Jesus; First and last in the song we raise, Sweetest name on earth is Jesus.

Balm in tears and sadness, Hope in joy and gladness, How it calms the troubled soul, When the stormy waters roll; Sweetest name on earth is Jesus.
