LyicsJesus, I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it our so loud
That all the earth might hear,
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,
And gold is sordid dust.
All that my ardent soul can wish
In thee doth richly meet;
Not to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet,
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,
The cordial of its care.
I'll speak the honors of thy name
With my last lab'ring breath,
And, dying, triumph in thy cross,
The antidote of death,
The antidote of death.
