LyicsJESUS, I love thy charming name;
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That all the earth might hear.
Yes, thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
All that my ardent soul can wish,
In thee doth richly meet;
Nor to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there-
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
