everytime i am in Haiti i hear this song being sung in church services... do you have all of the lyrics?(pardon, while i try to sound out what i hear)Jezi, beni sois ton nomJesi, oh meveye donJezi, ... ....

That's a French song from Chants D'esperance on the French side of the songbook. #19.
It is not sung in Creole.

Le nom de Jésus est si doux
De Dieu désarmant le couroux
Il nous appelle au rendez-vous
Précieux nom de Jésus

The Chorus goes:
Jésus! Béni soit ton Nom!
(Jesus, blessed be your name)
Jésus! Oh merveilleux don!
(Jesus, what wonderful gift)
Jésus! suprême rançon
(Jesus, Supreme ransom)
Sois adoré pour toujours
(Be worshipped for ever)

J'aime ce nom dans le chagrin
Il me soutient sur le chemin
Sa musique est un son divin
Précieux nom de Jésus!
J'aime le nom de mon Sauveur
Car Lui seul connait tout mon coeur
Lui seul me rend plus que vainqueur
Precieux nom de Jesus
