Jesus, Néctar de Sião

Jesus, your name is food for me
That fattens my soul, rejuvenates my spirit
And fills me with calm at every moment
You pulled me from the slave quarters, from vices
And filled me with peace and love on a grand scale
There’s a fountain of living water that springs to eternity
It’s you in reality in my life
That’s why I sing

Jesus, what a sweet and loving name
Jesus, what an eloquent prayer
Jesus, the taste of the nectar from the flowers
From the garden of the heavenly mansion

Jesus, oh! What a taste of honey
That fattens my soul, it’s the outpouring from heaven
Pour yourself out, Jesus, into my heart
You’re the nectar of the flowers of Zion

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Jesus, the bitterness of life fades
When I pronounce your name
The fatigue of labor disappears
When I savor your name

Jesus, oh! How good it feels to feel it flow
This precious liquid in my heart
Oh, what freshness in my soul, makes me want to cry
That’s why I want to pronounce the name

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
