LyicsJESUS, we love thy charming name,
'Tis music to our ear;
Fain would we sound it out so loud,
That earth and heaven might hear.
Yes, thou art precious to our soul,
Our transport and our trust;
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
O may thy grace still cheer our heart,
And shed its fragrance there,
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
We'll speak the honors of thy name,
With our last lab'ring breath;
And may the fragrance of thy name
Sustain our souls in death.
1 DOXOLOGY.
To God the Father and the Son,
Whom all the saints adore,
Be glory as it was--is now,
And shall be evermore!
2 DOXOLOGY.
To God who sits upon the throne,
And Christ the heav'nly Lamb,
In honor, power, and wisdom one,
We'll join in loud acclaim.
3 DOXOLOGY.
To God and Christ our heavenly King,
We'll give immortal praise;
And by the Holy Spirit sing
Henceforth to endless days.
