1 Jesus, Name all names above;
Jesus, best and dearest;
Jesus, fount of perfect love,
Holiest, tenderest, nearest;
Thou the source of grace completest,
Thou the purest, thou the sweetest,
Thou the well of power divine,
Make me, keep me, seal me thine!
2 Jesus, crowned with bitter thorn,
By mankind forsaken,
Jesus, who through scourge and scorn
Held thy faith unshaken,
Jesus, clad in purple raiment,
For man's evils making payment:
Let not all thy woe and pain,
Let not Calvary be in vain! A-men.
3 Jesus, open me the gate
That of old he entered
Who, in that most lost estate,
Wholly on thee ventured;
Jesus, leave me not to languish:
Helpless, hopeless, full of anguish!
Jesus, let me hear thee say,
'Thou shalt be with me to-day!'
Amen.
