Lyrics

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus
Thrills my soul with deep­est love;
Turns my thoughts from earth­ly plea­sures
To the ho­ly joys above.

Refrain

Just the whis­pered name
Brings the peace of Heav­en near;
Blessèd, bless­èd name to hear!
The name of Je­sus.
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of Heav’n.

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus
Drives away de­sire to sin;
Gives me cour­age to bear brave­ly
All life’s bit­ter dis­ci­pline.

Refrain

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus
Fills my heart with joy un­told,
That some day His gra­cious pre­sence
I shall cer­tain­ly be­hold.

Refrain

Just the whis­pered name of Je­sus
Makes me long to tell to all
How He saves, from sin and sor­row,
Those who listen to His call.
