The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#128

128. O How I Love Jesus

1 Jesus, I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud,
That all the earth might hear.

Refrain:
O how I love Jesus!
O how I love Jesus!
O how I love Jesus!
Because he first loved me.

2 Yes, thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust;
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]

4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care. [Refrain]
