My Jesus, sweet is Thy Name,
for my wild heart you came
to rescue and tame
never to maim.
Laying gentle claim
upon my fragile frame,
you took direct aim
at wounds all aflame.
Healing now my shame
and critical self-blame—
those tyrants who defame
the God-man you became
for us lowly, poor and lame.
My Jesus, forever shall we proclaim
the sweetness of Thy Name.
